How can scrapbooking and family trees NOT go together perfectly?

Scrapbooking is process of creating visual memoirs (a record) … and family history/genealogy is the finding and recording of your ancestors and descendants … so in combining them “Family Tree Scrapbooking” is created … the art of visually recording your family history … sometimes called Heritage Scrapbooking.

Years are usually spent researching, so why not spend some time creating a visual record which you can show off your ancestral roots to other family members and friends?

Over the last few years scrapbooking companies have caught on to the genealogy trend, and as such there are now numerous ranges of papers available for the Family Tree Scrapbooker. There are pages that allow for family group sheets, family pedigrees, and family memoirs.

This post is really just to show you the collections of scrapbooking papers that include Pedigree and Family Group Sheet papers. Each lists the manufacturer together with the Collection they are from.

These heritage scrapbooking papers are listed in alphabetical order to make it easier, so check out these great pages and tell us what you think.

Carlton: A History – P. Yule – $39.95 REPRINT
The contributors reveal how, since its initial subdivision in the early 1850s, Carlton has been home to Melbourne’s most diverse ethnic and social heritage: from the early bourgeoisie, who built the grand terrace houses of south Carlton, to successive waves of immigrants who have enlivened the community. They capture the excitement of the nationally important social movements that sprang to life in Carlton–from the eight-hour day campaign of the 1850s to the experimental theatre of the1960s and 1970s–and show how the Carlton Association’s fight with the Housing Commission in the 1960s did much to determine the character of Melbourne’s inner suburbs in to the twenty-first century. Throughout, the major institutions and architecturally significant buildings that characterise the suburb, are illuminated.
