What Families Have Said

"My grandmother left behind a box of letters that no one in the family could read clearly — the handwriting had always looked like a tangle of lines. Quill Cypress produced a clean, bound booklet in about three and a half weeks. Reading it at the table with my mother was something I had not expected to feel so strongly about."

"We had over a hundred and sixty photographs from my parents' generation and earlier, loose in two shoeboxes. The catalogue we received is something my siblings and I have each looked through at length. The index is genuinely useful — I can find specific periods without hunting through the whole book."

"I ordered the Heritage Reference Card as a gift for my father's birthday. He has been asking for years for something that simply records the family names in an organised way. The card is small but well-made, and the two copies allowed us to give one to my uncle as well. Good value for what it is."

"The process was straightforward. I sent them the letters by post with a covering note and they confirmed receipt the same day. They flagged four passages as uncertain and asked for my input before completing the transcript. That kind of care was what I was hoping for."

"We had photographs going back to the 1950s that had never been properly sorted. They worked with us to date several images using clues in the pictures themselves — a building we recognised, a school uniform. I did not expect that level of attention."

"I was initially uncertain whether the Heritage Card service was enough for what my family needed. After the consultation, it turned out it was exactly right — a simple, clean printed record of names and one paragraph of family history. The card itself is nicely done. Proper card stock, not paper."
