A timeline is a chart of events. History is more meaningful when it has a personal perspective, and your timeline will be special because it is your thoughts and memories about what is important to you. Once you create your timeline, youíll be surprised how much you have done, and you can be proud of your accomplishments.

Your timeline should tell all about your life, and if you wish, can include the part that happened to your family before you were born. You might want to include photos of your family, or photos of events that were important to your family, such as birthdays, marriages, or other special events.
