Default family history

I am also a family historian and have been for many years,

Using family history software I have collated many photo's, certificates and documents which have been scanned in and along with family facts and figures then produced into a book (managed to get my direct paternal line back to about 1700) this is still ongoing as I still have items to scan in and research, so at some point a revised edition will need to be printed

Photo's are stored best I can to ensure they survive, but the book has set these photo's into a medium that can be handled and viewed by present and future members of the family, leaving the originals "untouched".

Think copying and reprinting the originals is a great idea, unfortunately I have too many for me to take this route.

What a great and lovely idea John. My brother started tracing the family tree, but I don't think he got very far. I must remember to ask him how far he got.
