Getting to know Erastus, Bertha, and the rest of the family

For about 5 years I have wanted to do something with my geneology. Something that would help me and my kids put names to our relatives pictures. Something that would make history come alive a little bit and make it easier to remember who was who.

After going back and forth between several different ideas, I finally went with a 5-generation picture family tree. I have to admit I am quite happy with it. My kids stop in the hall way all the time now and talk about the pictures and ask questions - I love it! The next step is to get copies of all their life histories and to try to go back at least one more generation. It's good to know you a little better great grandparents!

I love how it turned out!! That is awesome that you even have all of those pictures. It makes me want to go through my mom's stuff and make some copies of photos.
