I wanted to expand on the bare facts of our ancestors lives by creating a page for each event. To make it more fun (for me if nobody else) I decided to use two books as images for the text backgrounds: for the Annetts the notebook my Dad used while he was studying for his engineering qualification, and for the Ealeys my Mum's autograph book. The fundamental properties of matter should never be ignored, and an autograph book seems the erstwhile equivalent of Facebook where, in place of grammatically alarming queries and pronouncements, you'll find a neatly penned ditty, acrostic, or sketch.

It's interesting to wonder what the family researchers of the future will make of their ancestors' blogs and tweets. Well, this is my version of a blog for our ancestors.
