4. Virtual Genealogy Classes: Many organizations and genealogy experts offer online courses and webinars to enhance research skills. Enroll your daughter in a virtual genealogy class to expand her knowledge and connect her with other enthusiasts in the field.

5. Custom Family Tree Print: Create a custom family tree print that showcases her ancestry in a visually appealing way. Include photographs, names, and important dates to make it a cherished piece of artwork for her home.

6. DNA-themed Jewelry: Consider gifting your daughter a piece of jewelry that features a DNA helix or a personalized DNA code pendant. This unique piece will serve as a constant reminder of her passion for genealogy and her connection to her roots.

7. Genealogy Software: Invest in genealogy software to help your daughter organize her research findings and create detailed family trees. These tools often come with features like source citation, record linking, and data analysis, making research more efficient and coherent.

8. Genealogy Books: There is a plethora of books on genealogy that can provide insight into research techniques, historical contexts, and inspire further exploration. Look for titles like "The Family Tree Toolkit" by Kenyatta D. Berry or "Genealogy Standards" by the Board for Certification of Genealogists.

9. Membership to Genealogy Societies: Find out if there are any local or national genealogy societies or heritage organizations that your daughter could benefit from. Membership in these groups often comes with access to exclusive resources, networking opportunities, and educational events.
