Helpful Tips on Ancestral Scrapbooking:

•KISS…Keep It Super Simple! Ancestral pages are fascinating because they tell a genuine story about a period of history that many who view your pages won’t have personal knowledge of. Let the photos and momentos tell the story without too much clutter interfering. Restrain yourself from over-doing these pages – you’ll find that by just adding a special journal entry that sets the tone for the page, the results will be impressive.

The web offers a wealth of information and resources on learning more about your family connections. Consider visiting these sites to learn more about finding ancestral information: A solid, basic site filled with information on building a family tree, and heritage scrapbooking.
