I noticed that we both have the same maiden name (and that your book is about the McGinnis family line)! I wonder if we are related?!

I kept it focused on one family line. I like the idea of having a larger one with census images, etc., and might have to have a go at it. I found Snapfish and Shutterfly to be pretty comparable. I usually just choose the one with the better price!Shelina (formerly known as Shasta)https://www.blogger.com/profile/03290945204269323129noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8641680.post-14206455309597538402014-09-27T13:14:21.429-04:002014-09-27T13:14:21.429-04:00Jackie & Donna, I don't use a specific tem...Jackie & Donna, I don't use a specific template.
