Hi Diane...

I started a family history scrapbook on one of my maternal lines some 12 months ago...there are no hard and fast rules...the more pages you add then you begin to see how you would like it to be.

I have photos of my 2x gt grandparents and their children including many of my gt grandma. However after a while I decided that I would start my scrapbook with information that I had found going back to my 3rd, 4th and 5th gt grandparents....ie copies of parish records and photos of their graves, churches where they were baptised and married in Devon. It just seemed to me that I should include all this info...as this is where I came from...my family history. Mind you I have had some funny looks when I mention photos of graves LOL.

Just have fun doing it...!

Btw there is a scrapbooking thread on the general board...I will nudge it up for you.

Happy scrapping

Linda
