Wondered if anybody has made an family album of all the information they have gathered. I'd like to keep all the information in some type of book form but not sure which would be the best way to do this. I've just looked on Amazon and they seem to have quite a few family history books you can buy for this purpose, but I think they seem a bit pricey.The only way I can think of is to buy a folder with the plastic pockets but wondered if anybody else had any tips or ideas on this subject. |

I bought a folder and sleeves from S & N genealogy, they do long ones which hold the marriages certs,as I found some don't fit in in A4 size. I've now got a rather large collection of folders, for birth marriage and death certs. plus census info and wills. It's taking over my bedroom! |

I've found it helpful to use the file and plastic sleeves method, keeping the families in separate files. That makes it easier to take a relevant file when visiting family. |

thanks so much everybody for the tips and ideas. I'm wanting to keep one for myself but mainly I want one to give as an xmas present for my brother next year. So I might do the folders for myself and look into Marilyn's suggestion from "My History" that sounds really good. |

Thanks Barbara, that sounds interesting. Must admit I had to read it twice but there again that's not unusual for me. I think it becomes clear once you start putting it in to practice so I may have a look at My Heritage later. |

Thanks for the blurb.com Mike, just had a look and downloaded the programme. I've never heard of it before, so thank you. Just wondering, have you actually published and ordered a book from them.? |
