230 Year Diary: 1900 - 2130

230 Year Diary So many uses! Imagine a diary for the whole of your life! Imagine writing your life story as you go. Forever a work in progress, and forever a handy reference for when someone asks 40 year old you what year you won the award for junior citizen of the year. A priceless gift for a newborn baby. Its also a tool to use when researching your history, your parents history or even your grandparent history. This journal is the perfect place to keep track of all the important details as you find them. When researching family trees, it often happens that you will jump around between various points in time, leaving you confused as to what happened when. If you then wish to go on to write your family story in novel form, then you most likely will need to start again. This diary will allow you to quickly and easily move around in time and before your eyes your story will begin to take shape. A whole year calendar is printed on one side, with a plane lined page following to allow you to note down anything about that year that you want to. See the list of prompts for ideas, but feel free to include any other information that is important to you. After each decade, several pages of lined paper allows for a full summary of that decade, or provides extra space if you over run any particular year. There is plenty of space to also glue in copies of documents as you find them. This is designed to work alongside your Ancestry DNA Research. ‘Your Story’ isn’t limited to the years you were alive. Use the extra years to write your parents story, or that of your grandchildren.
