A reunion is the perfect time to recognize family milestones. But it's
not necessary to bring a huge family history book each time, displaying
everything about everybody. Especially if your relatives have seen the
book a number of times.
Sometimes it's better to "think small." Place current updates on a
regular size 8-1/2" x 11" sheet of paper, divided into three sections (on
the front and back). The benefits:
- It's a quick way to show recent marriages, births, deaths, graduations,
etc.
- Family members can easily fold and take copies of the info with them.
- You don't have to carry around heavy books.
The tri-fold developed for my recent Pelham Family reunion was fun to make
and people really enjoyed it. Below is a front and back view:
