Address File

Collect addresses and basic information about members of your family on 3x5 or 4x6 cards. Your mom may have an address book that will help. Use a different card for each family group. For example:

Olson, Uncle John and Aunt Jane
2436 Foxfire Way
Portland, OR 97345
Phone: 503-657-2943
e-mail: jolson@aol.com
Kids: Mark (10), Mary (8) and Jimmy (5)

When you have cards for each family you can track down, put the cards in alphabetical order and keep them together with a rubber band. Make an alphabetical list to put in your family history book.
