Founded as a specialized genealogical publishing company, Willow Bend Books became a trusted authority in family history preservation under the ownership of Craig R. Scott (1995–2003). The company strategically expanded its inventory of vital records, church histories, and military source books by purchasing F. Edward Wright’s Family Line Publications in 1999. In 2003, Willow Bend Books acquired Heritage Books, Inc., continuing operations under the Heritage Books name. Today, the combined catalog remains an essential resource for genealogists tracing American lineages.
