Back to School

Saturday Shop ... 

Many friends are in a flurry of last minute shopping to get their kids ready to start school  on Monday.  It is a perfect time for you to stock up what you need to get started on family history.  School supplies are usually really inexpensive at this time of year.

Here is a checklist of supplies to get you started:

• black ink pens and pencils
• blank paper or index cards for recording information
• file or archival folders
• filing cabinet or storage boxes
• loose-leaf binders and notebooks (avoid spiral notebooks)
• dividers or index tabs
• blank pedigree charts, family group sheets, correspondence and research logs
• colored labels (optional)
• digital camera

You don't need to wait till you have everything on the list - just let the desire burn in your heart, and do something towards your family and personal history.
