I have mounds of genealogy - photos, charts, newspaper clippings - the works. It currently resides in two very full drawers and a box in the living room (as well as on the computer). I have big charts on the wall (extending down the hallway!). I want my kids to know and love these people. When I'm feeding my baby I recite his lineage to him. I was wondering if anyone has ever tried to do a genealogy scrapbook. I'm thinking something that will make learning about ancestors more interesting and easier for kids - really accessible and fun. Something to look through at bed time or maybe as a quiet book for Church (no originals - just copies of photos and documents!). Not too far back - maybe only four or five generations. I am scrapbook-clueless, so it would need to be simple.
Ideas? How would you arrange it?

I am a scrap booking junkie, i suggest to by a scrap book comp. program,(art explosion scrapbooking factory deluxe by nova devlopment wal-mart had them 9.99) It will let you put things in it on the comp. this way you can save it on your comp if it gets destroyed, make it simple while they are young as they get older add more to it, if you have a scanner and good printer this works very well, there is also perfect scrapbook maker also wal- mart but i find this one more complicated it is by cosmi you can also look on there web sites i found them them there but they were more exspensive,
www.nova.development.com or
www.cosmi.com
also you can get a loose leave folder and by the clear pages (avery) and just sick them in, just check the school isles this way it makes a nice book that wont get destroyed
