Two just as a second back up. But I would still recommend you to print out some sort of thing now and then just...well for my benefit, do it. Do not make me worry about you loosing all your precious work...ok? Ok!
5. Perhaps the most important thing I (in my opinion) would recommend is this. Tell the story, Tell a story, tell something on each person if you can find it. Historical events. Family stories past down on aunty sue. Something to make it interesting. What's the use of doing all that work when it's the same ol boring...so and so had so and so...and so on. It's so much more interesting telling what happened in that persons life. Remember without them, you would not be here. This person has also been a child, grew up, learned things, cried over loosing something, and has gotten angry when someone did something. This person lived, perhaps longer then you and has marked your life in ways you'll never understand. Concored countries, made countries, fought for what they believed...or maybe been just the baddest person in history...but they lived. It makes it interesting...and the more years that go by even in your life the harder it'll be to dig up. So find out, share, and let your great great great great grandchildren know them and you.
