Do you have a family timeline?
Do you have a family timeline? I have one that goes right back to 1957 when I was married. It's pretty loose and most events and activities of my family are broken up into the different countries we've lived. 1957 dh and I moved from London to live in Hawaii until 1962, then on to Wash DC, Md, where we had our daughters. We lived in Turkey, Japan, and so on. I have births, wedding dates, vacations all in a Word document on my iMac dock.
If you haven't started one, I'd encourage you to. I realize it's easier today with your scrapbooks and dated photos, but I've found having one right at my fingertips is so handy and helpful. As you grow older your photos and books collection will become larger and more difficult to find info, and the memory DOES wear thin.
My timeline has followed me from a written journal page, to a number of word processing programs and now it's on my iMac. I need to update mine, but I'm so glad I started it years ago.
Just a thought...........
