Family Researcher Shop
Welcome to my online Family Tree shop!
Full online store
This link will take you to my full online store for family tree books and software, along with other items of interest about the Coventry Blitz, the first and second World Wars and the history of Coventry.
Coat of Arms and Surname Histories
If you fancy treating yourself or a loved one to a special family item, take a look at House of Names. They sell a variety of goods, such as mugs, t-shirts, beer steins, key chains, plaques, framed armorial histories, jewellery boxes, tote bags, shot glasses, and many more. The cool thing about House of Names is that the items you buy bear the family crest of your choosing. You just specify the family surname you would like when ordering. Makes a great gift or keepsake, and is ideal to complement the sort of genealogical research service I provide.
Below you will find my hand-picked selection of family tree and history related books, software, gifts and gadgets.
