Many people spend countless hours researching their
genealogy. What a wonderful gift to leave for future generations. I am doing
the same because the facts and stories of my family are very precious to me. However,
traditional genealogy research is documented on charts that are sometimes a
little confusing to follow.
Heritage scrap booking can be an even more interesting way
to document that same history. Every
page you include brings your ancestors to life. And, you can create a visual
history of each person from their birth to their death. You can see extended families and how they
grow and have lived their lives.
You can creatively document the happy times as well as the
not so happy times. After all, the combination of these events is the very core
of your family. Your journaling can include stories, facts, names and dates of
events.
Although photography has been around for a long time, pictures
of more than a couple of generations
back are rare in some families.
I wanted to show you how I took the loose pictures of my
parents’ wedding and a story from my Aunt and was able to create a heritage
page that I think family members will enjoy for years to come.
Having lost both of
my parents, these pages keep them alive in my heart. ~ T
