4.0 out of 5 stars Creating Your Family Heritage Scrapbook, December 27, 2002

This review is from: Creating Your Family Heritage Scrapbook: From Ancestors to Grandchildren, Your Complete Resource and Idea Book for Creating a Treasured Heirloom (Paperback)

I received this book for Christmas and have already read several of the chapters... if you are new to genealogy or scrapbooking this is the book for you. My only complaint is that the authors jumped around too much with the lay-out of the book. There are "mini-articles" in the middle of chapters, so you have to skip around to read a chapter. Not a book that you can sit and read from cover to cover comfortably.

I have just received this book. Although I expected more examples of completed pages, I was not disappointed. I have more than enough books and magazines to confuse me with too many ideas. It is a comprehensive, easy to understand entry into the world of creating a true heritage album. It is a wonderful resource and I would strongly recommend it to anyone wants to enhance the stories and information you have about your treasured photos. I have always been confused about how to proceed with research of my families but this book answers it all.
