We search the records, interview the people who still remember, restore the photographs, and write the book your family will pass down for generations.
Restored portraitWWI draft card
Census pages, draft cards, estate files, and faded photographs hold the facts. We find them, read them closely, and turn them into a story your family can hold.
Every household, every decade, traced name by name.
Draft cards and service files that place a person in time.
Court files that reveal property, heirs, and hard truths.
Damaged images brought back for the next generation.
Most services sell research or a book. Every Legacy Leaf book comes with these commitments.
Enough for every branch of the family. Extra copies at print cost.
Every record, every restored photo, and a Word copy of the manuscript, in a folder you keep.
Modern tools help with research and restoration. They never write your family's story.
We build a presentation with speaker notes for your family to deliver, or Dr. Gober presents it at your reunion or celebration.

Dr. Gober's history of his own paternal family began with a single line in the 1870 census. It follows six generations, built from the same research, interviews, and photo restoration every Legacy Leaf family receives.

Dr. Gober holds a doctorate in Educational Administration and has spent more than two decades as an educator and school leader. He came to family history the way most people do, wanting to know who came before him. That search became two books.
Legacy Leaf Books brings a researcher's discipline to the records and a writer's care to the story.
