If you are looking for another resource for family history information, I recommend you check out Storied!

Storied offers a variety of features that can help you look for and organize your family tree details in a special keepsake book.

While yes I am an affiliate of the program, I’d be sharing it with you even if I wasn’t, because I believe it supports an important mission of saving history for generations to come.

I’m simply proud to be a part of raising awareness to their website, Storied.com

Please read on to learn more!

What is Storied?

Storied is an online platform that can help you create your family tree, explore historical records, write your ancestors’ story, and invite loved ones to research with you.

Important documents are available to explore such as census charts, marriage records, military cards, immigration files, newspaper articles, and more.

What Makes Storied Standout from Other Sites?

With Storied.com you can add team members to your tree for gathering information and telling the full story of a loved ones life.

There is also a free version and paid version (more about that below)

Another feature that surprised me was the option to create a personalized family tree book, referred to as StoriedBooks™

What are StoriedBooks™?

So this is what I think is genius and well worth your time!

You can have a book created with up to 200 pages for cherishing your family history, while also receiving weekly story writing prompts.

There are even themes to keep in mind when designing your book!

• Memorial
• Personal History
• Recipe Book
• Family Stories
• Genealogy
• Newspapers
