"My kids are finally excited about family history!"
Not sure what to expect? We get it. That’s why we’re offering your first Legacy Letter for just $1.
You’ll receive a beautifully written, hand-mailed letter—crafted as if it were written by one of your ancestors. No strings. No pressure. Just a chance to experience the power of personal family history.
Just send us a link to your FamilySearch profile (or a few ancestor pages). From there, we explore your family tree to uncover meaningful lives, real events, and overlooked legacies.
We find the stories hiding in plain sight—so you don’t have to.
Using historical records, location data, and real family connections, we write compelling letters as if your ancestor is speaking to you today.
They don’t just say what happened—they share what it meant.
Each letter is personal, reflective, and written with care.
Every month, you (and optional loved ones) receive a beautifully printed letter in the mail. These aren’t mass-produced—they’re rooted in your family and designed to inspire reflection, identity, and conversation.
It’s not just nostalgia. It’s nourishment for the soul.
Inspire young minds with stories
from their own roots.
A monthly reminder of who they are and whose shoulders they stand on.
Help them pass on the stories they hold dear.
Teach heritage without screens or lectures -
just heartfelt letters.
Bring your family's past to life in
vivid, personal detail.
Let us help you share the legacy
you've worked so hard to preserve.
Start your own family journey grounded in legacy.
Stay connected to each other -
and your shared story.
Strengthen identity and testimony
through real, eternal connections
“I wanted my kids to feel their heritage—not just hear about it.”
“I got Legacy Letters for my children because I wanted family history to be more than a Sunday afternoon project. I wanted it to be something they looked forward to, something they could connect with. When the first letter arrived, they were hooked. Now every month, they ask if a new letter has come. It’s become a meaningful tradition—and they’re learning about where they come from in a way that sticks.”
— Sarah T., Florida
I may not be here forever, but I want my grandkids to know where they came from.
“I’ve spent years gathering our family history, but I always worried that once I was gone, all those stories would just sit in a binder on a shelf. Legacy Letters gave me a way to pass them down in a way my grandchildren actually connect with. Each month, they receive a letter written as if it’s from one of their ancestors—sharing stories, values, and lessons I want them to remember. It’s not just about names and dates anymore. It’s about heart. And every time they get a new letter, I feel like our family ties grow a little stronger.”
— James R., Texas
It’s just a simple thing we look forward to.
“We didn’t really know what to expect when we signed up for Legacy Letters. But each month, when the envelope shows up, we sit down together and read it as a family. It’s usually after dinner, just a quiet moment where we learn a little more about someone who came before us. It’s helped our kids feel more connected to their roots, and honestly, it’s helped us slow down and talk about things that matter. It’s not a big production—but it’s become something we really value.”
— The Jensen Family, Utah
You’ve got questions. We’ve got answers (and ancestors).
No problem at all. All we need is a link to your FamilySearch profile (or a few ancestor pages). We do the research and select ancestors based on what’s already in your tree—so even if your tree isn’t fully built out, we can still find meaningful stories to share.
Yes! You can request a specific ancestor to start with (perfect for birthdays or memorials), or let us surprise you with someone new from your tree. If you don’t choose, we’ll handpick meaningful individuals based on historical richness, story potential, and family connection.
Absolutely. You can add additional recipients—like kids, grandkids, siblings, or missionaries—for just a few dollars more per month. Everyone receives the same letter, beautifully printed and mailed directly to them.
You can cancel anytime—no questions asked. You’ll still receive any letters that were already prepared, and you can always rejoin later. We make it simple and flexible because we know life (and family trees) change.
You’ll need a free FamilySearch account to get started.
We use your family tree on FamilySearch to explore your ancestry and create meaningful, personalized letters. If you don’t have an account yet, it only takes a minute to set one up.
