Your legacy
Preserve your family's story for generations
You've done the research. So, where's the book?
An ancestry that lives inside a website isn't a legacy. It's a database. And nobody has ever gathered the family around a database.
Because your family history deserves more than a database
Everything your publishing projects will ever need
Every GEDCOM, every client, every report — from import to published book, all in one seamless workflow.
Register Canvas
Upload your GEDCOM and a properly numbered book appears — Register, NGSQ, and more, complete with child lists, sources, and indexes. Then customize freely: Heritage Storyteller chapters, your own photographs, stories, and documents.
Keepsake Canvas
Some pages deserve ceremony. Start from editable templates or build from scratch — fan charts, ancestor profiles, photo spreads — and design every page with ready-made frames, corners, and flourishes, or import your own.
Heritage Storyteller
Your ancestors were more than dates, places, and events. Heritage Storyteller turns your facts into biographies that tell a story — in the voice you choose — never invented, and fully yours to edit.
End-to-end publishing tools
We never leave you holding an unusable file. Every book comes out publisher-ready — proper margins, binding gutters, true typesetting — or let us print it and deliver it to your door. No setup fees, ever.
Full source and citation support
You spent years getting the sources right — they belong in the book. Every citation rides with its fact, edits in place, and prints as proper numbered notes with a full bibliography, the way scholarship should look.
Heritage editing and layout controls
Other software hands you a frozen export. Here, the typeset book itself is editable — every person, paragraph, and page, live on screen — with command of trim size, margins, gutter, and type. The book reflows as you work.

Genealogy publishing froze twenty years ago. We built the modern press.
For twenty years, the software that prints family‑history books has barely changed. Most of it still looks like something from the 90s — outdated interfaces, cluttered workspaces, and pages that read like database printouts. And while the big online tree sites are wonderful for research, they were never built to make a book.
Heritage Studio is different by design. It lives on the web, so it works wherever you do. Windows, Mac, Linux, Chromebook — Heritage Studio works on all of them. With Heritage Studio, there is nothing to install, nothing to update, and you're never tied to one machine or one operating system. It's built for efficiency, not endless menu‑diving or forms full of options no one understands. You can customize and refine your work with the touch of a button. It typesets real books — the kind genealogical societies publish — not reports. It can tell your family's story in written chapters, not just charts. And it ends with a beautifully bound book you can give to clients or share with your family, not a database.
Built for the serious genealogist.
Nine numbering systems. Every citation. Full indexes. Heritage Studio offers strict standards‑compliance, or customization to your personal taste.
- Numbering systems — Register (NEHGS), NGSQ (National Genealogical Society Quarterly), Henry (modified), Henry (original 1935), d’Aboville, d’Aboville (modified), Ahnentafel, Ahnentafel (modified), and Outline.
- Citations — every source travels with its fact, prints as a proper numbered note, and carries through to a full bibliography.
- Indexes — every person, every place, generated and page‑accurate.
- Society submission — the Register Canvas writes a three‑generation article into NEHGS's own Register manuscript template, their styles and their footnotes, ready to send.
- Print — Heritage Press prints the finished book, hardcover or paperback, priced per copy with no setup fee, and ships it to your door.
