Testimonials

“When we started, I knew my grandparent’s names, had a handful of suspect family records, and little else. I now know their histories and in some lineages as many as nine generations back. Several family stories have been confirmed. Others turned out to be not what was expected. Kimberly did an amazing job with little to start from and did it quickly.”

A. E., California, USA

“KBQ Enterprises does outstanding work. They have produced several custom books that have exceeded our expectations. The pictures were amazing and the attention to detail was second to none. The research that accompanied the photographs was so in depth that each book will be a memorable keepsake and history of our families and events for generations. Their work is professional, accurate and of very high quality. We also had KBQ Enterprises research our family genealogy for several generations. The facts we discovered were exciting and amazing. We highly recommend KBQ Enterprises. You will not be disappointed!”

“I found Kimberly’s books to be very well collated and interesting. Our family military history is a treasure to look at and keep. Our grandsons found them to be very interesting and the life-size photographs of our own relatives were quite unique and colourful and brought it all to life along with the family stories and anecdotes interspersed. This is a wonderful way to honour and keep our family memories alive and to have the faces of our relatives readily available to view at any time and to be able to easily share with friends and other family members.”
