" Family-trees
that remember your grandfather's name "
---Stephen Vincent Benet

Our lives, a series of memories, is mostly what we have to look back on, and to pass on to our families and to those who love us. In times like these our memories of family, friends, and beauty hold us together and make our souls joyous to be alive. Here's a photographic History illustration of what your Family History might look like over the years. The pictures (some from old photos and some from my cameras) are placed on a video DVD along with the interviews for your pleasure and memories. (Be aware that the originals are vibrant & clear; Web copies are somewhat washed out and smeared at this resolution.) |

In the continuing Illustration of a Family History, selections of Shots are listed. The 2nd column has a thumbnail of the large Collage of more pictures than are in the 3rd column. This series was from the point of view of the Granddaughter. Yours can be arranged in the way you prefer, and have (or not have) collage types. Check out the many different styles of Collages.
This is a collection of pictures of my family. My name is Sommer, but I don't come in till the end: Family Life History, Page 2 Back to Family Life Histories, Page 1
