Save your Family stories today

Do you know the life stories of your parents, grandparents or ancestors? Where did they come from? What was the world like then? What about their careers, travels, trials and triumphs?

There are many dimensions to a person over a lifetime and you may only know a fraction of who they are or were. And by the time grandchildren are old enough to be interested, family stories and knowledge have disappeared, but not anymore.

Technology makes it so easy to collect and share priceless family and ancestry information into a printable digital keepsake book, so future generations are not left wondering.

Bookform helped me create a memoir within hours
Belinda, Sydney

I’ve been working on many books for many years and always struggled with formatting my ideas in a legible way. Using the Bookform memoir template has helped me format my stories and ideas logically and create a book product within hours. I look forward to adding more into the templates and seeing my book grow.

The template questions helped me ‘interview’ my mother
Jeni, Sydney

My parents are ageing and I wanted to start collecting some of their stories and information before it was too late. I started with the Bookform memoir template and just added their stories as they told them to me. The template questions helped me ‘interview’ my mother to stimulate long forgotten memories. We also used some of the Bookform memory exercises and they really did help with recalling information from decades ago.

The Bookform memoir template helped start the process
Steve, Sydney

I’ve been wanting to document my family’s history and migration to Australia for many years, but it always seemed too time-consuming and I didn’t know the best way to start. The Bookform memoir template helped start the process, but it also gave me the flexibility to move chapters and stories around as my book developed.
