Family history isn't limited to trees containing names and dates. Personal stories and remembrances — all kinds of special material — can be an important part of it, too. Put these items together and you have yourself a family history book. Some family history software programs can help you set up books automatically from the trees and other items you have created, even adding a table of contents and index.

Whether you choose to create your family book manually or with a software program, a collection of family trees and stories is a precious heirloom you can pass down to your children and grandchildren, or pass around at a family reunion. It's gratifying to see the story of your family take solid form.
