Tin Chest

The Family Box gift, for Christmas 2026

Give Mum or Dad the story behind their box of certificates.

For the parent who keeps the family box of certificates, letters and photos. We read the papers they already have, trace the family back through Britain’s free records, and hand back a checked family record. Every name, date and place shows the document behind it.

£295, paid in full. Full refund if work has not started.

What your parent gets

A checked family record

A family tree with a source on every fact, written so your parent can check any line themselves.

A private family website

The record comes as a private family website that they can share with relatives.

A printable summary

A short summary to print, for anyone who would rather read it on paper.

Two short calls with Ed

One to start, and one to walk through the result. He answers their questions by email throughout.

How it works

  1. You reserve a place. Email us, and we send a payment link.
  2. The first call. Ed hears what your parent knows. They send scans or phone photos of their papers.
  3. The second call. Ed walks them through their family record, in time for Christmas for orders placed by 15 November.

What happens to the papers

We work from scans or phone photos. The originals stay at home, and nothing goes in the post unless your parent chooses to send it.

The copies are kept private and deleted on request. Read our privacy notice and how we use AI.
