Five Star Gift Ideas

When it comes to finding a great birthday gift for someone who enjoys family history research, there are a variety of options available that are sure to excite and delight. Here are a few potential ideas to consider:

1. DNA Testing Kit: If your husband is interested in tracing his family history back through genetics, a DNA testing kit might be the perfect gift. Companies like AncestryDNA and 23andMe offer comprehensive testing services that can help people learn more about their family origins, ethnicity, and potential connections to distant relatives.

2. Personalized Family Tree Art: Consider commissioning a professional artist to create a custom family tree graphic or portrait that your husband can display in his office or home. This unique piece of art can incorporate his research findings and provide a visual representation of his family history.

3. Rare Genealogical Books: Many rare and out-of-print books on family history research are available online or in specialized bookstores. These volumes can be valuable resources for tracing ancestry, and can also serve as collector's items for the book lover in your life.

4. Conference Tickets: Consider purchasing tickets to a conference or seminar focused on genealogy research. These events offer opportunities for attendees to learn from experts in the field, network with like-minded individuals, and discover new research techniques and resources.

5. Family History Research Package: Consider putting together a package of genealogical research resources, including books, software programs, and subscriptions to databases like Ancestry and MyHeritage. You could also offer to help your husband with his research by scheduling dedicated time for you to work together on tracking down information.

6. Ancestral Travel: If your husband is particularly interested in visiting locations associated with his family history, consider planning a trip to explore relevant sites and landmarks. This could include a trip to his ancestral homeland or a visit to a local museum or archive.

No matter what gift you choose, the most important thing is to show your husband that you support and encourage his interests and passions. With a thoughtful and personalized gift, you're sure to make his birthday one to remember.

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