You can create the Standard, Combination, and Descendant Books. All three book templates include a tree chart, family group sheets, and timelines that fill automatically with information from your Ancestry Tree.

We do not automatically include records from Ancestry. Here's a step-by-step guide on how to add all available record pages for a person in your book.

First, open the project you want to edit and select the + Add to Book button or the Find Records tab.

Adding Records with the + Add to Book Button

From the preview (double-page spread), click the + Add to Book button.

Select "Add Record Pages" to add all available record pages for a person in the book.

Enter the name in the search bar and click the name box of the person to whom you want to add record pages. Then click the "+ Choose Record(s)" button in the lower right-hand corner.

You can choose which records you want to add to your book by clicking them to highlight them in blue. Then click the "+ Add Record Page(s)" button in the lower right-hand corner.

You can also use the "In book" tab to search for a person by name or scroll through and select the listed names.

Adding Records with the Find Records Tab

From the preview (double-page spread), click the Find Records tab on the Family Group Sheet or Timeline page. This will automatically pull up the couple's or individual's records to be selected.

You can choose which records you want to add to your book by clicking them to highlight them in blue. Then click the "+ Add Record Page(s)" button in the lower right-hand corner.

The selected records will be added as a new page after the timelines.
