Genealogists dedicate lots of time to uncovering their past. This involves hours of researching events, timelines, stories and other records. But what happens after the research results in mounds of papers, files and overflowing binders? It's likely that if the results aren't put into an interesting format, they may be lost or discarded by those who can't appreciate what they hold in their hands. The three sections of this book focus on preserving and sharing your family history - Your Family, Your Photos and Your Stories. It presents steps in researching Your Family and organizing your findings. Your Photos are invaluable and require organization and preservation too. Finally, Your Stories are unique and should be shared. This book helps you to organize your research and photos and create a digital scrapbook including unique, intriguing collages of photos, documents, stories and even video interviews. It will be a priceless, artistic album that will be treasured for generations to come!
