Another Way to Scrapbook

Matt Felber

Scrapbooking is an excellent way to preserve and tell our family history.  However, it can be messy and requires special tools and supplies and creative talent.  Sometimes you wind up with a bulky, hard to file book that’s almost impossible to duplicate or share.

By using a computer and an internet connection, you can scrapbook with just a few clicks of your mouse. This alternative way to the old method eliminates the mess and makes impressive scrapbooks, easily bound like any other book, and easy to have a copy made.  Learn the alternative way at the February meeting.

2:00 pm - Port Charlotte Beach Park,
Room B, 4500 Harbor Blvd.

Tips & Tricks
Direct evidence speaks to the point in question.

A census is an official county of the population living in the United States on a designated day set at intervals. The census places an ancestor is a specific place at a specific time.

In addition to the census population count, there are a number of special censuses: Slave, Industry & Manufacturing, Agriculture, Mortality, Social Statistics, Union Veteran and Widow, Defective, Dependent and Delinquent.
