Kim: One of the nicest things I've seen to be left for generations to come was handed out by the celebrating couple at a 50th wedding anniversary. It was an album type thing or book if you will, just a Xerox copy, but very nice. It was put together by the couple themselves, no publisher or anything like that. It had several generations of pictures, all identified. It had a very nice genealogy in it. And it had (best of all) family stories handed down from several generations and up to the present generation. These stories, the real history of the family, are what I think made it so special. There were copies of birth, marriage, and death records where appropriate, and even some land records. A person could include whatever they would like to include, but should always include stories whether today's person thinks it is interesting or not. A few generations from now that story probably will be interesting. I found an old newspaper article one time about someone selling eggs - a lot of them. I sent the article to a descendant who had no idea the family had ever even had a chicken except to eat. Just some ideas. Good luck. Bud Caudle
