Yes a memory stick would be good. But also maybe a photo book of the family tree.
Two great minds think alike it would seem!
My Family Tree goes back to the mid 1700s
I made a Photo Book of the first ten years of the four grandkids and gave it to the wife for her Christmas in 2010 (There are eight years between the oldest & youngest)
....and as I have already mentioned I want to give each of the grandkids a 'memory stick' when I complete the cataloguing!
It would be nice if I could complete this by Christmas, so that I can give them one each for a Christmas present, but the more I look at the photos I think I am going to have to go back to the drawing board.
To explain;
My Son & Daughter have two children each and yes I can extract individual photos of each child to carry out my original plan.
But on looking at the overall content of the photos I see that each child is often seen with;
a) Their Sibling
b) Their Mum & Dad (singly and together)
c) As a whole family
d) With their grandparents.(singly and together)
e)Then they are seen similarly with their cousins, aunties & uncles and again the grandparents.(a total of 10 people)
Resulting in quite a permutation of photos and who am I to separate the 'family unit'?
My initial thoughts is to put a number of 'folders' onto each memory stick to cover all or some of the above permutations.
Only time will tell what I will end up doing but if any of you have any ideas I would be pleased to hear them.
So based on this I will have to be thinking of a different Christmas present for each of them! (assuming we are allowed to get together at Christmas)
