Family legacy packs

Choose your beginning.

Research depth depends on the records, photographs, names, and memories you are able to share. We will always work thoughtfully with the material available.

A considered first step · Free

Start with a free surname or photo assessment.

Share one surname, a family detail, or tell us about one photograph. We'll send a concise feasibility and next-step assessment—not a guessed family tree or a promise of certainty.

What you receive
A practical first answer
A brief view of the information you have, what could be worth researching, and what may be difficult to verify.

Photo upload is not available yet. Please describe the image, its condition, and any names, places, or dates you know. We'll advise whether a fuller assessment is a sensible next step.

By sending this form, you ask Kinoqa to use the details you provide to prepare and reply to this assessment. Research is evidence-led, not a promise of a particular discovery. Keep originals safely with you; please share copies or scans only when requested. Your form details are stored securely for this enquiry and are not used to invent family history.

Working with care

A clear process for personal material.

Family history is personal, and the photographs and records you share may be irreplaceable. We handle the digital copies you provide with care, but ask you to keep your original photos and records safely with you.

Our delivery and revision approach

  • Typical delivery is 2–3 weeks after we receive the required material. Before research starts, we review what you share and confirm if your project needs longer. If the available evidence cannot support part of the agreed pack, we will tell you rather than fill gaps with speculation.
  • You can review a proof before final delivery and flag factual corrections based on your source material. New research requests or changes beyond the agreed scope may need a separate plan.
  • If Kinoqa cannot deliver the agreed digital pack, we will explain why promptly and discuss an appropriate resolution, including a refund where it is the fair outcome.

Please provide scans or copies rather than sending original photographs or records. This plain-English service statement is not a substitute for formal terms.

Questions, answered

A little more clarity before you begin.

Family material deserves care, and it is right to know what to expect before sharing it.

What if my photographs are severely damaged?

We can assess the digital copies you share and explain what is realistically possible. Restoration can improve many faded, marked, or damaged images, but it cannot recover detail that is no longer present in the source.

What if I know very little about my family history?

That is a perfectly good place to begin. A surname, a rough place or date, a photograph, or a family memory can help shape the starting point. We will be clear about what the available evidence can and cannot support.

What happens to the photos and information I upload?

Please keep your original photographs and records safely with you, and send copies or scans for the project. The digital material you share is handled only for project delivery; the retention or deletion arrangements will be confirmed with you before you upload.

What is included in the £149 Family Story?

The Family Story is a digital pack: a designed PDF of typically 10–12 pages, up to 3 restored photo files, a 30–60 second MP4 story video, and a family-location map with an evidence-led research section. The final scope reflects the material available.

Is it a printed book or can I order printing?

No. The £149 Family Story is not a printed book, framed piece, or other physical item. Printed editions are not included in checkout; you may ask about a separate print discussion during your project.

Will I have a chance to check the story before it is final?

Yes. You can review a proof before final delivery and flag factual corrections supported by your source material. New research requests or changes beyond the agreed scope may need a separate plan.
