Scrapbooking Your Family Tree

Scrapbooking has become a popular hobby to capture family memories.  While many people only scrapbook their immediate family, it’s also possible to branch out and scrapbook your family tree.

After compiling information about your family’s history such as birth dates, death dates, and other important information, you can look for pictures of your ancestors. You can usually find these in the local library of where your ancestor resided from old newspapers on microfiche or on the Internet. If you can’t find any photos, don’t worry, you can use other images and embellishments in their place.

The next thing you need to do is decide if you want to make your family tree scrapbook with papers, embellishments and other ordinates from a scrapbook/craft store or if you want to create a digital scrapbook and have the pages printed out at a photo center or on your own printer.

Scrapbooking your family history provides generations a beautiful and informational look into the past of your family, which they can use to know how far their family has come.
