Putting Your Family Tree Into a Scrapbook

What is nice about researching your family tree is getting a chance to talk to some of your relatives and finding out interesting facts or stories about your ancestors. You can find out a lot of information by just word of mouth.

First Page of Your Family Tree Scrapbook

The first page can be the oldest documents you have that contain the information of the oldest generation.

If you are going to start with your great grandparents, create a layout that contains any pictures, birth or death certificates, military records, etc.

Make sure that you label each piece of information. You will need to include full names, dates, and places they may have lived.

Plan Layout of Your Pages of Your Family Tree Scrapbook

Before you start you need to figure out the layout of the pages.

Organize the documents, pictures, mementos, awards, and anything else you are planning to include in your scrapbook.

Adding to My Family Tree Scrapbook

You are able to add pages to some types of scrapbooks. This is a nice feature with a family tree scrapbook because your ancestors can add to the book you start.

 Plus, if you ever find any other information that dates back further then the information you have previously collected, with easily removable pages, you can add the information to your scrapbook.

Just like with photo albums or other scrapbooks, you need to start with the pictures or documents that come first and therefore are the oldest.

Why Would You Need an Expanding Folder For Your Family History?

Old pictures and documents will be collected in your family tree search.   You can use a folder to keep these things in.  Or invest in a portable expanding file.   You are able to keep all of your documents separate and organized. Remember that you need to keep track of the people in the photos or which documents belong to whom. So, make sure you always have scrap paper and paperclips on hand. By using paperclips you can write the information about the document or photo and keep them together.

Supplies Needed for Family Tree Search

Although genealogy research does not require a lot of different supplies, it is the supplies that make your hunt for your family history easy and fun to do.

Sometimes trying to create a family tree yourself is tricky. You might want to hand out these documents to family and friends. But it gets hard trying to fit all of the names and information of your relatives. It also gets tricky trying to figure out who you should include. Your great grandfather may have had five brothers and each of his brothers had five children. Should all of this information be included? Templates, forms or charts that you can print out from the internet will solve a lot of these problems for you.
