Welcome to the Family Roots Publishing Company website.

Welcome to Family Roots Publishing Company. We publish and distribute a select number of the highest quality genealogy publications available. Our major focus is the publication of new genealogy related guides. All items posted on this website are new or like new, unless otherwise stated within the description.

Our latest project has been the publication of Bill Dollarhide's latest book, Genealogical Resources of the Civil War Era. It was delivered June 22nd and began shipping immediately. We're extending our pre-pub special and offering a discount price of $29.95 (normally $32.95) through the SCGS Jamboree. All Internet orders placed prior to Noon MDT on the 30th will now ship that same day (after we've returned home) at the special price. The book will also be available at the SCGS Jamboree in Burbank at the special price.

One of our most popular projects of 2008 was the publication of Bill Dollarhide's two volume Census Substitutes and State Census Records books. These volumes continue to sell very well.

Another primary focus is on the publication of the Map Guide to German Parish Registers. This series stands currently at twenty-four and will reach forty-five or more before it is complete. Volume 23 - The Bavarian Gazetteer and Index to Volumes 13-22 was published in December of 2008. Volume 24, covering all of the Thuringian States, was printed in early May, 2009. In addition to the Map Guides, we now distribute a number of genealogy-related guides printed by other publishers.

Family Roots Publishing is also the exclusive distributor of limited numbers of new copies of back issues of Heritage Quest Magazine, as well as the Genealogy Bulletin. Thirty-three back issues of the "Bulletin" are now found on this website, while Heritage Quest Magazine back issues are now beginning to be posted. The co-owner of Family Roots Publishing is Patty S. Meitzler, former editor of Heritage Quest Magazine and wife of Leland K. Meitzler, former Managing Editor of Heritage Quest Magazine and the Genealogical Helper Magazine. You can now purchase back issues of those publications at this website.

ABOUT THE PRODUCT SEARCH

Search for any word found within any item description by using the Product Search box on the upper left margin of the page. EXAMPLE: Included in the description of the German Map Guides is a list of the towns found in any particular book. Type the name of any town and the books including that name will pop up in the Search Results. Keep in mind that you need to search for German towns using the German spellings - including the umlaut (ä, ö, ü), if one was used in that word.

Libraries may now order by purchase order at checkout!

SHIPPING

We ship worldwide. All items are normally shipped within 24 hours, excluding weekends and holidays. Items shipped within the United States are shipped by USPS media mail. The first item is typically $4.90, with each additional item $2.50 - excluding those items that are shipped with postage included (magazines & charts).; Goods going outside of the U.S. ship by First-Class International Packages. Foreign customers please note that there are no longer any USPS surface rate options - making foreign shipping a bit more expensive than it once was - but MUCH faster.
