I was putting all my picture emails into a picture folder, and ran across pics of my great-grandparents that had been emailed that I forgot about. I've got a grandson now, so I've really got to get this info together, they're his ggg-grandparents for cripes sake. I have info going way back to the 16-1700s on the families of the wives. I'm trying to figure out the best way to put this in 'book' format, I don't want the computer generated tree thing. Should I start with the oldest direct line I can find? Or with me and my husband, and then go back? I was thinking I'd do one scrapbook type page with pics and data. Me and DH, our kids, our info, for instance. Then my parents and his parents. And on like that. Or I could start with the very first generation in the US in the 1740's and go down down down, then make a separate 'section' for each wife's family that goes back back back.

What do you think would work best, and I do want only one scrapbook. After I get the one for my grandson, I want to use it as a sort of template for my unmarried sons, sibs, and the oldest living relative. That's 6 more, and I'm not made of money, I'm not even made of pennies, ha!

Advice?
