Hi List,
Thank you to Beverly Bainton, Paul Hanly & M & C Barth for your suggestions
and input on my previous question re family history collage ideas.
I how have a pic of the present my friend received for her birthday, the
one I mentioned about being in the marching girls etc to give you an idea
of the sort of thing I'm talking about.

As soon as I saw this in a frame over her place, I thought "WOW... this
would make a great present idea for other people I know". Then I started
thinking about some great ideas for family history things. old photos of a
particular historical family member or families in general etc.

So if you are interested, have a look at this pic link my son put up on his
website space, and see what you think (who knows... maybe you might see
this and think of some of your own gift ideas and family history collages
for your own things).
Sorry if this is a little off topic, but as it has to do with displaying
genealogy pics of our ancestors, then I hoped it would be ok.
Thanking you again to those who replied with suggestions.
Regards,
Maggie (Sydney)
