Five Star Gift Ideas

For your boyfriend who is passionate about genealogy and family history research, here are a few thoughtful gift ideas that he will truly appreciate:

1. DNA Testing Kit: Help him uncover his ancestral origins and connect with relatives he may not even know existed with a DNA testing kit. Companies like AncestryDNA or 23andMe offer comprehensive tests that provide detailed ethnicity estimates and access to a vast DNA database that can unveil new branches of his family tree.

2. Personalized Family Tree Wall Art: Commission a custom-made family tree artwork that visually represents his genealogy. This personalized gift can showcase names, dates, and photos of his relatives, creating a beautiful and meaningful piece of décor that he can proudly display in his home or office.

3. Subscription to an Online Genealogy Service: Enrich his genealogical research by gifting him a subscription to an online genealogy service like Ancestry.com or MyHeritage. These platforms offer access to extensive databases, historical records, and collaborative tools to help him delve deeper into his family's past.

4. Genealogy Software: Provide him with a software program specifically designed for genealogy, such as Family Tree Maker or Legacy Family Tree. These tools allow him to organize and document his research, create comprehensive family trees, and even track DNA matches, making the entire process more manageable and efficient.

5. Historical Documents or Books: If your boyfriend enjoys researching a particular era or location, consider gifting him with historical documents, books, or even rare copies of old newspapers. These resources can provide valuable insights and assist him in piecing together the puzzle of his family's history.

6. Genealogy Conference or Workshop: Surprise him with a ticket to a genealogy conference or workshop where he can immerse himself in lectures, seminars, and networking opportunities with other genealogists. These events often feature renowned experts who can inspire him and offer valuable tips and techniques to enhance his research.

7. Unique Family Heirloom: If you have access to a family heirloom, such as an antique photograph, a handwritten letter, or a cherished piece of jewelry, consider gifting it to him. Not only will it evoke a sense of nostalgia, but it will also serve as a tangible connection to his ancestors, further fueling his passion for genealogy.

8. Customized Research Assistance: If your boyfriend is struggling with a specific aspect of his genealogical research, consider hiring a professional genealogist for a few hours or purchasing a consultation package from an expert in the field. This personalized assistance can help him overcome roadblocks and provide guidance on advanced genealogy techniques.

Remember, the most important aspect of a gift is the thought and effort put into choosing it. By selecting a gift related to his passion for genealogy, you will demonstrate your support and appreciation for his interests while nurturing his love for family history research.

Or you can get him a star map with the date when he was born.
