What would you call your family history book?
« on: Sunday 14 September 14 19:43 BST (UK) »
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.

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."
