Don’t Forget Yourself

In your desire to preserve and record the past of your family, do not forget to include materials on yourself. Newspaper clippings, photographs, awards, certificates, diplomas, and other items that relate to YOU are important as well. At some point in the future, you will be on of those names on a chart just like the relatives you are trying to track down today.

Future genealogists in your family will be glad that you did not forget to preserve items on the living as well as the dead.
