Text items
beyond your data:
 |
This date
in history...
|
|
|
Factoids,
did you know, and "trivia"
|
|
|
newspaper
items - both actual news and advertisements
|
|
|
"academic" history - history that influenced but not directly touched the family
|
 Some interesting items we has seen go
into genealogy and family history books include:
WWII Ration book and what was
left of the family stamps, listing of cemeteries (and locations) in the book, advertisements
from family business, personalized maps, Railroad Card, photos of boot camp (including the bugler), military
unit and group photos, documents, etc. Anything that someone may have
(or currently do today) kept in/for a scrapbook should be considered.
