My organization is by colour for each of the four family names. My parents' last names and my husband's parents' last names. I will post some photos on the Crop Circle community pages. There is not much of a story being told other than the relationships, birth and death dates, and any significant fact (like served in WWII), etc. I found starting with the current generation and going back in time the most logical for me as I have collected my information that way. I used a smaller format (8" x 8") and added a "family group sheet" (list of each child born for the couple) for each page. It may make it more sterile than a story based scrapbook, but that was my way of documenting the information in a more pleasing format. See my page at the Crop Circle for photos.<br>CindyS Noell,

Great timing!!! I just begun planning my heritage album (around November to you tell the truth...) I've collected 2 full shoeboxes from my family with photos, negatives, slides, polaroids...everything! These where loosely around various places (next... albums are coming!). Started scanning them (I'm halfway 1st box) and still I have to collect albums and photos from members of the wider family. And haven't started the same process wtih my husband's family yet! (I have photos from his childhood but I'm going for the "big picture"... I hope you understand what I mean...) I think I'm kinda slow, but I scan and rescan if I don't like what I see (call me perfectionist lol!) and maybe I'll use originals but so far I think I'll use the scanned ones and preserve the originals properly... we'll see (I want to see what memorabilia I'll manage to collect)<br>Thank you for the inspiration.

And as for photo corners, they were always a bit of a pain for me to apply. I use them often, any time I don't want to tape a photo down, as I don't save backups of any of my photos (other than counting the hosting site where I printed from). Just not something I care to do; never saved negatives either. So the corners are important to me and I know I'll appreciate applying them with greater ease now.<br>Blessings,<br>~Toni~ Thanks for the great heritage album ideas, Noell.
