2. Genealogy Software: Another option is to get your dad genealogy software or a subscription to a genealogy website like Ancestry.com. These tools can help him trace his family tree and learn more about his ancestors.

3. A Personalized Family Tree: If you want to go even more personal, you could create a personalized family tree for your dad. There are plenty of websites that offer family tree templates that you can customize with photos, names, and other details.

4. Research Help: If your dad is already deep into family history research, you could offer to help him out in some way. Maybe you could organize his research materials, transcribe some old family documents, or help him visit family gravesites.

5. Family Memorabilia: Finally, you might consider getting your dad a gift that celebrates your family history in a more tangible way. This could be something like a personalized photo album or a framed picture of your family’s coat of arms.

Overall, there are plenty of great gift ideas for someone who loves family history research. Whether you choose a DNA test, genealogy software, or something more tangible like family memorabilia, any of these gifts is sure to be appreciated by your dad.
