A family history book is a journey through time that shares your family’s past, and it can inspire changes in the lives of those who see it.

MyCanvas’ free, online software comes with a selection of designed, inspirational quotes you can include in your book via the embellishments section. Or, if we don’t have the quote you are looking for, our software allows you to write text so you can tell your family’s story and include the quotes you find most meaningful.
