Beginning your family history can often feel overwhelming. Where to begin? What subjects to cover? How to compile the information? A good idea for the very beginner is to use a record book (or fill-in book). These allow you to start with yourself, and fill in usually three or four generations.
K & Company's Keepsake Book Kit is a cross between a record book (fill-in booK), and a scrapbook album. This is fun way to start and finish an amazing memoir of yourself and family.
"Everything" is included but your memories and loving touch. This finished album would either make a great gift, or keep as an heirloom to pass on to future generations. The Ancestry.com Keepsake Record kit contains 86 total pieces. Firstly you get a beautiful hardcover, spiral bound album with 24 pages for you to fill in, and an envelope for memorabilia. Also included are designer stickers, die cuts and rub-ons.
Inside the album you'll find hundreds of entries to record data about you, your spouse, your children, extended families, your first home, childhood, and more, with plenty of spots for adding photos and stories.
Coloured in heritage shades of greens, browns and cream, the album measures approximately A5 landscape size (8 1/2"x 6").
