    1. Re: [FO] Non-Traditional Use of FOW

    3. I use one database for our family reunion picnics. I primarily use the scrapbook for the photos, but each years picnic and family is the Individual and the off-spring of the first picnic is the next years picnic, followed by the offspring of that preceding year. By doing this, I can put notes in for the picnic as individual notes and in the scrapbook, I can put the picture title and in the description, more notes, identifications, etc. Now by printing a scrapbook page, it has the heading for that years picnic, shows the pictures and lables, and descriptions. I've furnished the pages for the last several picnics and they have always been well received. I do put out the call after the picnics for the LOAN of the photos for scanning. I frequently have more than I really need, but because these are from attendees, they look for their photos and in return, I have photos that will supplement my genealogy/family history. I currently have 18 "generations" for the picnics. I usually try to pick one photo that either describes the picnic in content or is an honored person (two years ago, one attendee was 100) as the default picture. This way, I could use the Descendants book as the cover page with its notes and follow with thei scrapbook (individual).
