Saturday Shop ... Back to School

Many friends are in a flurry of last minute shopping to get their kids ready to start school  on Monday.  It is a perfect time for you to stock up what you need to get started on family history.  School supplies are usually really inexpensive at this time of year.

Here is a checklist of supplies to get you started:
  • black ink pens and pencils
  • blank paper or index cards for recording information
  • file or archival folders
  • filing cabinet or storage boxes
  • loose-leaf binders and notebooks (avoid spiral notebooks)
  • dividers or index tabs
  • blank pedigree charts, family group sheets, correspondence and research logs
  • colored labels (optional)
  • digital camera
You don't need to wait till you have everything on the list - just let the desire burn in your heart, and do something towards your family and personal history.
