Heritage Hunting at Heritage Scrap - Preview

I wanted to share a little preview of what we will be doing in the Heritage Hunting chat and challenge. We will start out talking about what heritage means to different people; ways to preserve and present our heritage; and starting to research our family trees. After establishing a family tree, whether it be 1-2 generations or multiple generations, we will be scrapping, charting, drawing, or whatever, to present it to our families and/or friends.

Here is a sample of my family - my parents and siblings. Of course, the actual layout has our pictures and personal data on it; however, for privacy reasons, those are left off the version that is posted here.



Another example that contains data since all parties are deceased is the George Grover Family in pictures and data. This is what is known as a Family Group Sheet since it contains information about a family group.



A Pedigree Chart is one other way of tracking an individual's ancestors. An example of a pedigree chart is this layout of my grandmother's ancestors.



This is just a small part of what we will be discussing and doing in this project. We will also be talking about different ways to get this information, pictures, contacts and so forth. It will span over many weeks and months so you will be able to participate in all of it or just the parts that you want or need more information. We will share research links and techniques, ways of journaling and charting, interviewing questions, and even organizing a family reunion. If it involves your heritage or family history, in the past or present, we will talk about it!

We will kick off this project next Tuesday, June 2 at 6:00 pm Pacific time or 9:00pm Eastern time with a chat in the chat room - link: Heritage Scrap Chat Room After that, I will post information about the weekly topic on Mondays, we will chat on Tuesdays, and work on our assignment/project for the remainder of the week. Please let me know if you have any questions, problems, or suggestions for this challenge!

See you next Tuesday evening!!
