Ancestor Watch

Do you have an heirloom watch that doesn't work?  Why not turn it into a memento of it's owner?  The blog, maizehutton.com, tells us how to replace the watch face and workings with a photograph of a loved one.  What a wonderful way to keep their memory with you always!

Fan Chart

Have you created your own fan chart yet?  It is so easy and is a wonderful way to see nine generations at once!  Go to createfan.com to get started.  You will need a family search account or an lds.org account, but if you don't have one, createfan.com has a place you can click to set one up.  Once you sign in, they create your chart.  It's that easy!  On the site they have a couple of companies that will make your chart into a poster if you'd like.  I chose chartmasters and ordered a 26"x36" poster of my fan chart on bond paper, laminated.  At that size, the font is 10 points.  It costs $10 plus shipping.  With a bit of creativity, I have been able to print out photos and glue them to the chart. These posters make great gifts!

Family Photo Guess Who

Get an old Guess Who game.  Cut out family photos and replace the cards in the game with photos instead.  Play Guess Who using the original rules.  What a fun way to get to know your ancestors!
