For A New Baby

We have a new granddaughter coming in July!!! Our 14th grandchild! And I'm not even 60 yet! So we are thrilled!

As each grandchild has entered into the world, I have made one tradition. That of presenting the new Mother with a Our Family Tree book, to be passed down to baby when he or she gets older.. These wonderful, fill in the blank, family tree books are a great gift for a new baby for their future when they become more interested in where they came from. 

I have purchased the ones I use from either eBay or Amazon. And they take a couple of days to get photographs together and the family tree filled in, and answer questions regarding where the family has lived, and what the grandparents did, etc.

Here's the current one at Amazon.com.

There are large areas for filling in names and dates, which makes it nice no matter what kind of handwriting you have. And it will last for a lifetime. Something your grandchild will pass down from generation to generation. 

I also have used these as door prizes for our family reunions, to get others interested in doing their own family research.

With summer coming, and family reunions getting ready to fill the season, I hope you find this a great door prize for your family reunion. Also great for new babies. A new son or daughter in law. Weddings. Anniversaries. Graduations. Just an all around great family gift!
