Create a Family Timeline

Creating a “Family Timeline” will help you with your photo-organizing project. Find joy in sharing the stories and memories with others while staying organized and on track.

• Grab a pad of paper or open your favorite word-processing program
• List the people you would like to include on your timeline
• Start with births, deaths, and marriages
• Expand as much as you want — vacations, schools, jobs
• Work with other family members to fill in the blanks
• Use your timeline to help organize your photos or your family history projects
