Have you ever found a very old family photo albums, perhaps at your grandparents’ house, and do not know who the people in the photos? Sometimes no one remembers who they are, and part of your family history is lost forever.
One of the most annoying thing about finding old photos or old album is the lack of information in it. Often no identifying photographs. No names, no dates, no locations.
One way to keep it going with the album you make is to take the time to journal on it. Today, make a photo album has become an art form known as scrap booking. These scrapbooks are more than just pictures on the page. They are family history, intended to be derived from generation to generation.
Journal is important for several reasons. First of all, it will provide valuable genealogical information for future generations. Second, the journal is a way for you to make sure the stories of your life and the lives of your family who survived. Also, it allows the people with whom you share your albums to look through them without having to have to tell you through the entire album. They can take their time to browse the album, enjoy the pictures and read the captions and stories.

What you need to journal on your album? You need to have an acid-free, permanent pens are made for scrap booking. It's important to choose the type of pen because they are photo safe. They will not damage the surrounding photos over time. You may want to have a pen in different colors or just black. Colors you use, however, is not as important as getting the words on the page.
At least you should write the identity information associated with your photos. This will be the name of the person and who they are in a relationship with you. It could be as simple as "My cousin, Jack White," neighbor Bill Smith, "or" my colleague and good friend Jill Jones "Identifying people with a little more information. From their name alone will help those who are looking through your album. Other important identifying information will be the date and location.

In addition to identifying information, many people choose to go further in their journal. They tell stories that go along with the photos. This can be a short paragraph that highlights what is happening or the whole page written memories.
If you are new to journaling and not sure how to put it into your album, try these tips:
The list is big to put in the album, not just the straight paragraphs. For example, if you do an album for your child can make a list of their favorite things - food, books, toys, TV programs, songs, etc., and sprinkle them throughout the album where there is empty space.

Ask others to write in your album. Get your child's father to write his view of the fourth birthday party. Have your friend take a trip by writing his thoughts on the trip.
Use poems or quotes that fit to fill some empty space. Has a little white space left on the drawing page Halloween? Find a pumpkin poem funny to fill in.
Whether you choose to just write in identifying important information, or go further and talk with your album, the journal will make your album more personal. It will also leave future generations with valuable information that they will be grateful.
