These Family Tree related DVDs are interesting and informative, and they make great gifts. Also, here are any gadgets I recommend as being particularly useful for anyone attempting to research their own family tree.

A Digital Voice Recorder is a modern version of a Dictaphone. I find it useful, with permission of course, to record spoken facts and anecdotes when I am conducting research. I especially recommend recording the family history recollections of older relatives, to preserve for future generations. There are cheaper models available, but make sure you buy one with the ability to record in MP3 format and to connect to your computer via USB so that you can archive your recordings. This model can hold over 500 hours so you will want to back up your recordings from time to time in case you ever misplace your recorder! |

This is a useful tool to keep handy when poring over old records. Historical records are often hard to read, so a magnifier can be a great relief. I often spot and correct mistranscribed records on online resources thanks to my little magnifier.
