Family Tree Scrapbooking Combines Fun and a Project

[seoxeee]

Scrapbooking is hot today, with sites selling supplies for everyone from the professional who is making a wedding scrapbook, to the hobbyist. Family scrapbooking is a great tool for you to use for holiday gift giving, as well as to entertain your children or a group of children at a family event, or combine the two things into one project.

Genealogy and family tree research memory book itself well to scrapbooking by virtue of the fact that the two things are so close in nature. Each of them has to do with the past, with memories and with saving those memories and information for a future generation.

Scrapbooking your family tree combines the two arts quite nicely into one fun and interesting project. Family scrapbooking can take the form of a gift for an elderly relative and use copies of photos that are part of his or her personal collection. Multiple companies, including such giants as Walmart will take the photos that you've got and make copies of them quite safely, permitting you to use them in genealogy projects such as family tree or family scrapbooking.

Begin with a blank album, and gather your supplies together, such as copies of old photos, old documents or other memorabilia and get to work.

Your first page or title page might be a photo of you and your husband on your wedding day, and moving forward through your children, with photos of each as they were smaller, or infants, then moving forward to present day. The results will delight your kids, particularly if they are older and now married with a family of their own.

A remembrance of a pleasant past childhood, a wonderful set of grandparents or their life in pictures in a scrapbooking project will please nearly anyone.

One of the most comprehensive and amazing projects in genealogy that we've personally witnessed was a set of scrapbooks that offered the family a glimpse of their past. One book was dedicated to the grandfather, another to grandmother and her life, with a single book dedicated to each of the children. The project took on a life of its own according to the maker, until it was impossible to settle for just one scrapbook to show the family tree.
