Tribute Book



I started my Family Tribute book at the publishing center. I just wanted to share the first page .I was not exactly sure where I wanted to start since you could go back several generations. I decided that for this book I would start with my grandparents. I will go back and start another book on our ancestors after I am done with this one. I am very excited about starting this book. I am going to make one for each of my siblings and my parents. Except for one of my grandparents all of them has passed away before my kids were even born. This Tribute book will be a way for my kids to know a little bit about them.

I wanted to show a page that was not completed. You can add photos to the red boxes and text to the green boxes. You can also change the templates to add more pictures or text.

A Trip Down Memory Lane


I have been going through all my old pictures from when I was a kid and boy it has been an experience. Looking at pictures of me when I was in first grade which was ?** years ago but in a way seems like only yesterday. I am splitting them up into groups of each child ,scanning them into my computer and uploading them into a family history book. I also have a bunch of old pictures of my great great grandparents that I am so excited about being able to put those is a published book so that my children's children can pull those books down from a shelf one day and get to live a little bit of history through them. If you have some old pictures consider putting them into a nice bound book . Here are a few of mine .

Me and my sister.
My grandparents at their 50th wedding anniversary.
Me in 8th grade.

Me in about 4th grade.

Me in about 2nd grade.

Old Family pictures. I am not sure of the dates of these right now. I just thought they were cool.


I do know that this is my great great grandfather who fought in the Civil War. This made Jackson very excited since he is studying The Civil War right now.
I will share more pictures soon as well as screen shots of putting the books together online at the publishing center.
Keep the Faith,
