[Roseanna Veredchanan · Rating 4 out of 5]

A thoughtfully designed workbook that aims to help you record and organize your family history. As the editors of Family Tree Magazine, the authors bring their expertise to create a valuable resource for genealogists and family historians.

The workbook covers a wide range of topics, from basic genealogy information to special family memories, traditions, and heirloom histories. It also includes sections for family records, newsworthy moments, migrations, and immigrations, as well as old recipes and important dates. The wealth of information and prompts is impressive, making it an excellent tool for those starting or continuing their family history journey.

One of the standout features of this workbook is the extensive list of websites and resources provided in the back of the book. These resources will undoubtedly aid in finding ancestors and uncovering hidden family secrets.

However, I must admit that I struggled with using the workbook to its full potential. While the prompts and sections are helpful, I found it challenging to organize my family tree in a way that felt cohesive and visually appealing within the workbook. Perhaps additional guidance or examples would enhance the user experience.

In conclusion, "Family Tree Memory Keeper" is a valuable resource for anyone interested in family history and genealogy. While it may require some creativity and adaptation to suit individual needs, the wealth of information and resources make it a worthwhile investment.

Rating: 4.5/5 stars

Recommendation: This workbook is ideal for those just starting their family history journey or seeking a comprehensive resource to organize their research. With some flexibility and creativity, users can adapt the workbook to suit their needs and make the most of its valuable content.
