Personal Time Line

List all the major events in your life you can remember, along with dates or ages if you know them. Talk to your mom or dad for help. Look at your baby book if you have one. Some suggestions of things to list are:

Birthday and place born
Learned to walk
Changes of residence (moves from one house to another)
Birth of siblings
First thing remembered
First toys remembered
Learned to swim, etc.
Major injuries, such as broken bones
Diseases
Memorable vacations
New pets
Accomplishments

Look through an almanac for major news events that happened in your lifetime. Construct a time line by taping together several sheets of blank 8.5 x 11 paper so they fold out. Illustrate your time line or add photos. Put it in your family history notebook and add to it as you remember other things.
