    Family Heritage Album

    How a box of old photos and the Internet helped a mom and daughter discover their family history

    by Leslie Garisto Pfaff
    Making Your Album
  • Vintage-style stickers and period maps printed from the Internet add charm and historical context to heritage albums.

  • Clear envelopes throughout the album invite family members to add more recollections when they're leafing through.

  • Handwriting your own reminiscences adds a personal touch.

  • Color-coded card stock helps differentiate sides of a family.

  • Scanning handwritten notes on the backs of photographs preserves the original descriptions -- and samples of your relatives' handwriting.

  • Important documents, such as wedding invitations and report cards, can help tell your family story.
