We build websites for genealogy societies, practising genealogists, and individuals who want to publish their research online. Specialists who understand this world from the inside.
Each service is built specifically for how genealogists work and what their audiences need.
A proper online home for your genealogy society or organisation. Clean HTML, reliable hosting, and a secure members area included as standard, without the overhead of a CMS your volunteers will never fully use.
A professional web presence that reflects the standard of your work. AGRA members, one-name study coordinators, independent researchers building a client base: we build sites that work as hard as you do.
rootshost was founded by genealogists, not generalists. Our roots in this world go back to 2011, when we launched Family History Directory, one of the first dedicated genealogy directories of its kind, still running today with over 100 pages and steady traffic from researchers across the world.
Since then we have built tracebritishroots.com to help international researchers trace their British ancestry, and olddocs.co.uk to make historical transcriptions accessible to the wider community. We build for genealogists because we are genealogists.
That means we understand your audience before you have explained them to us. We know why county record coverage matters, why a clean search experience beats a flashy one, and why visitors to a genealogy society website are there to find information, not admire the design.
