Hi,
I've been putting together a family history book that covers my Paternal & Maternal Grandparents and back through the generations to the mid-18th century. At the moment that book is simply named, Family History.
Does anyone have any good names for a family history book?
Many thanks.

My Family History ???
-
When my brother and I researched our Edmonds line of Family History we always were surprised how many lines, all having started from the family in Sussex, moved off in more recent years to various parts of the country but then later subsequent generations moved back to Sussex. My brother himself now living in Sussex only a few miles from our ancestors villages, only when he moved there he had no idea of that , as it was before we were researching!
So we called our family history story "From Sussex and Back"
Maybe there is something about your family that has struck you, that would inspire a title?

The key document that got me going were the memoirs of my great-aunt, written when she was in her 90s, and encompassing her father's memories - he was born in 1813. So the title is, "Building on Aunt Elsie's Memoirs."

Loving the names :D Some days I think mine would be "If They Weren't Already Dead I'd Do It Myself" or "The Ones The Aliens Didn't Want"

I definitely have some that would fit "The Ones the Aliens Didn't Want".

I think I would call mine "From Riches to Rags" since all my lines seemed to have started off prosperous and then gradually over the centuries shed their wealth generation by generation until the fortunate ones were miners, mariners and ag labs whilst the unfortunate ones were in the Poor House.

"Saga without Aga"?

How about "The Book of the ologies"? :-\

As one of my major lines is the Kidd family, I'd go for Kiddology! :D

As quite a few of mine are Stinchcombes/Stinchcombs from Hawkesbury in Gloucestershire, and as they are known in Hawkesbury genealogy circles as The Bloody Stinchcombes (no matter which tree you are researching, you will have a Stinchcombe or ten in there somewhere), it would have to be that - The Bloody Stinchcombes!

Love that one Panic! Modified to add - Just took a look back at the rest and they're all great!
Seriously though, Mine is "Gentlemen and Miners" The contrasts between my Paternal and Maternal Ancestors are huge! But all of them wonderfully adventurous in their journeys!
Within my Story, I do actually have several entries into what I call "My Hall of Fame and Shame"! A few giggles really, amongst the more serious stuff!

''Ag-Labs and other Common Ancestors''
A nice play on common as relating to the land but the wide variety of ancestors we have that join us
