Personal Timeline Templates
Submitted by adult80d on Tue, 2007-08-07 00:53.
When my son was born in October 2005 I began to think about how little I knew about my parents past. What were they like when they were younger, how did they feel when I was born, where did they live, who were their friends, etc... So I started to think about my own life in a timeline. I started piecing together information in different categories - where I went to school, where we lived growing up, events in my life, travel, occupation, etc... After gathering all the information I began to put it into a timeline so I developed these blank templates for making my timeline and I thought I would share them with others interested in timelining so they could benefit from them.

Wonderful idea!
These pages are great! We homeschool and I've been collecting forms for when my kids start their own timeline notebooks. These are great for indepth studies of historical periods. I can easily change the categories. If anyone is interested, I'd love to share, when I get it done.
I also am the family historian, and these will be wonderful for studying family members lives. :)
Great Idea, those Personal Timelines Templates!
Adult80d - These would be great conversation/memory/daydream starters!
The 'catagories' are nice to break it down. (Each of us could add or subtract from that managable list.) When I've thought about tackling a personal history or lifelist or something like this, it has always seemed too overwhelming!
One could easily start with the 5 or 10 year form and note 1 or 2 main items under each topic. Then grab the two year form or one year form (along with old calendars or photo boxes or files) and start filling in more time-specific details.
This will make some great times with my wife or brothers or Mom & Dad!
Thanks!
