Family History Gift Guide for the Family Genealogist

What is the perfect Christmas gift for someone in your family that will continue to grow and keep giving for generations to come? I'm sure there is a new or budding genealogist in your family.

Genealogy research is one of the most popular hobbies in the world. All ages are getting bitten by the genealogy research bug. It is very addicting. I have been doing my own family research for about 18 years now.

Ancestry.com has made it easy for anyone to search for their ancestors no matter where in the world they came from. 5 sets of great great grand parents immigrated from Germany to New York City in the early 1800's.

One set immigrated from the Netherlands. I have been able to trace them and many more generations back from the comfort of my home with an Ancesty.com subscription.

9 Generations of the Klein family via flouronmyface.com

The image above is an example of what part of my family tree looks like on Ancestry.com. This shows 9 generations back on my maternal grandmothers Klein family.

On Ancestry.com it is free for anyone to start a family tree. But you will need a paid subscription to access all of the documents available on Ancestry.com. There are a limited number of records that are available for free.

What kind of Genealogy documents can you find on Ancestry?

  • View your family in the census records
  • Immigration papers
  • Birth, Marriage and Death records
  • Wills, Newspaper articles and directories.
  • View other family trees
  • Military records

And many many more.

A membership to Ancestry.com would be a great last minute Christmas gift for a special family member who is interested in their family history. The subscription cost varies depending on the subscription. There are three levels available.

  • U.S. Discovery  gives you access to all U.S. records on Ancestry. It is $20 a month or $99 for a six-month subscription.
  • World Explorer give you access all U.S. & international records on Ancestry $34.99 a month or $149 for six months.
  • All Access you get full membership to Ancestry, Newspapers.com, Fold3.com, and Ancestry Academy $44.99 a month or $199 for six months.
  • You can also join for a yearly membership with added savings.

Ancestry.com also offers DNA testing that will give you your Ethnicity Estimate and connect you with your cousins. This will tell you based on your very own DNA where your family came from and match you up with any relatives who have also taken the Ancestry DNA test.

My Ethnicity Estimate from Ancestry DNA via flouronmyface.com

As you can see from the image above which are my results from Ancestry DNA that my DNA is 64% Europe West. I knew based on my family history research that 5 sets of my great great grand parents came from Germany, one set from the Netherlands. My 12% European Jewish results are also from one of my Jewish German great great grand parents.

So who in your family is the budding genealogist that would love to start their family tree?
