What can you do with Family History Builder?
We are not just some site that gives you an empty area and says "okay, start writing". It can be hard to write about your life without something to help get those memories out. Simply said, we remind you of things in your past, then you uncover those memories and record them.All your responses are saved in your account, and you can download, search, and edit them at anytime. You can also attach images, movies, audio recordings, newspaper clipping scans, or other documents related to your entries. See below for some examples of how it works. All for less than $4/month.
