A picture tells a thousand words! Handle them carefully, gently put the names of individuals on the backs of each picture. Get organized and be consistent. For example: always list the people from left to right. Put their full names, First, Middle and Last names. Include nick names if you know them in (parenthesis). Give the location and the date or approximate date. Then comes the big moment... get them scanned so they can be organized and shared. Writing a personal history is so much better if you can include pictures. Don't forget to take pictures of their homes whenever possible. We will have a scanning social toward the beginning of December so get your pictures and documents ready!

free in the SLC Family History Library.
