LET ME MAKE A SUGGESTION

I would like to suggest if you read something on this site that you want to keep or remember that you copy it off onto paper. You can do what I am going to do. Copy it off onto paper and start yourself a notebook of information from this site. You can use a three-ring binder, folder or any other type of notebook you wish to keep up with the stories you read here. There is a reason I suggest this. The stories you see here will not always be here. I will delete some of them from time to time. I will also delete some of the pictures. If you start copying them off to paper, you will have a permanent record of what you see and read about your Self family on this site. In a little while, you will have your very own Self Family "history book" , because that is excactly what this site is... Self history. It' s kinda like cutting clippings out of the newspaper.
