Five Star Gift Ideas

For your granddaughter who loves genealogy and creating family trees, I have a few gift ideas that I think she will truly appreciate:

1. Ancestry DNA Kit: This is a perfect gift for someone interested in genealogy. By taking a simple DNA test, your granddaughter can discover her ethnic origins and connect with distant relatives she never knew existed. Ancestry.com provides a comprehensive database and tools to help her dig deeper into her family history.

2. Family Tree Chart: A beautiful and customizable family tree chart can be a wonderful addition to your granddaughter's collection. Consider getting her a chart that allows her to fill in names, dates, and relationships of family members. This would not only be a visually appealing gift but also a practical tool for her genealogical research.

3. Research Subscription: Help your granddaughter expand her genealogy research by gifting her a subscription to an online genealogy database like MyHeritage or Findmypast. These platforms provide access to vast collections of historical records, which can greatly assist her in uncovering important details about her ancestors.

4. Old Family Photos: Delve into your own collection of family photographs and select some that could be of special interest to your granddaughter. Gather them together and present them in a beautifully crafted photo album or a collage. This personal touch will not only make for a sentimental gift but also serve as a starting point for her genealogical journey.

5. Genealogy Books: Give your granddaughter the gift of knowledge by selecting a few books on genealogy or family history that she can enjoy and learn from. Look for titles that cover topics such as research techniques, organizing findings, or stories of famous genealogical discoveries.

6. Family History Software: Consider gifting your granddaughter a subscription to a family history software program like Legacy Family Tree or Family Tree Maker. These programs provide advanced tools for organizing, managing, and presenting genealogical data, making her research more efficient and enjoyable.

7. Interview Journal: Encourage your granddaughter to document the stories and memories of her living relatives by giving her an interview journal specifically designed for genealogy. This thoughtful gift will not only help her gather valuable information but also foster a deeper connection with her family members.

8. Genealogy Conference or Workshop: If there are any genealogy conferences or workshops happening in her area, surprise your granddaughter with tickets. These events provide a great opportunity for networking, learning new research methods, and connecting with other genealogy enthusiasts.

Remember, the best gift is one that comes from the heart and shows your support for your granddaughter's passion. By selecting a gift that encourages her love for genealogy, you are not only acknowledging her interest but also nurturing her desire to explore her familial roots.

Or you can get her a star map with the date when she was born.
