What do you do with all this info? Each time a new great niece or nephew comes along I write a family book, with pictures where possible, and all the info I have at that time for that child going back to their oldest ancestor (although recently I have had to do the same for my mum etc). Each time I start another book (A4 pocket display folders(40)) there is more to add in and sometimes corrections to be made but when it goes 'to print' it is 'up to date' for that time. It just enables me to share some of what I am finding out. I also put a history time line to put it all in some sort of prospectus. Just thought I would share this.

Hello christine I'm going to put all the information when iv.e gone as far as i can, into two books for my two young children. (age 8 & 4 ) I've already kept a journal for each from the start of each pregnancy adding special peices of information regarding their lives as i go on. It will be nice for them in generations to come, to be able to have questions answered about their ancesters , when there is no-one to answer them around anymore . e x

I am going to put into a book of somesort with photos where possible and give copies to my 2 children - the eldest (31) is now interested and the youngest (14) is beginning to show interest as things are discoverd ( best giggle yet for her was finding an uncle by marriage called Chas Rabbit. Next bunny we have is already named!) I also intend to buy a nice Bible and enter all the information starting a backdated family Bible and pass this on. Jacky
