Programs like Legacy Family Tree, Family Tree Maker, or Gramps can simplify the process and allow her to easily share her findings with other family members.

5. Books on Genealogy: Consider purchasing books that delve into the intricacies of genealogy research. These can provide your grandma with valuable insights, tips, and techniques to enhance her skills. You might also explore books related to her specific heritage or countries of interest.

6. Family History Scrapbook: Encourage your grandma to compile her findings and memories in a family history scrapbook. Gifts such as scrapbook kits, archival-quality photo albums, decorative papers, and embellishments will provide her with the tools to create a visually stunning and meaningful documentation of her family's story.
