Description:

We all have a couple (or maybe more) fruit loops in our family. You know, those colorful characters that always make family gatherings a REAL treat. Well, in this swap we're going to make a totally nutso family tree!

I beg you, don't use anyone's real name if you plan to base a family member on someone real.

Nuts and Bolts: - This can be done in a notebook or on loose leaf (Just make it pretty)

  • First page, make a family tree (at least three generations- feel free to do more if you're feeling especially inspired)

  • Choose five members from the tree to write at least a page bio on

  • In the bio, you can do what ever your heart desires, give a couple stories from the person's colorful past, tell all about their marriages, about their crazy kids, or about their creepy habit of stealing socks from the local laundromat.

  • This can be in any era

  • Make sure you include a date of birth and place of birth for each

  • Make at least five bios, more if you're feeling inspired

Okay, so this is newbie friendly. It's so frustrating when you're new and you can't get into swaps because you're new. But, you must, you must, you must have a well filled out profile. I will be checking profiles. I will angel any flakers, but please don't sign up if you don't think you will be able to come through.

Rate a 5 if you receive a family tree with at least five bios. If you have any questions about the swap, please PM me. Thanks a bunch.

I am pretty new here and this sounds super funny. How do u mail this? Is it ok to fold?

GarbagePailKid 01/28/2014 #

Yep. You can fold. Just make sure it looks nice!

What a great idea!! Going to start working on mine.

Ooh, fun! I have it on my watchlist right now but will most likely join (I usually join swaps at the last minute).

If you plan any other family-tree/genealogy-related swaps, I'm totally in (crazy fake or not!) :-D

Oh my goodness - I'm in the middle of my second bio and I'm having so much fun. I can't wait to get assigned so I can share and see what someone else has done.

GarbagePailKid 01/30/2014 #

@seekingjoytoday Haha, I'm so glad you're already having fun with it!

oh wow this sounds like so much fun. would you consider doing the swap again for an international rather than just regional ?

GarbagePailKid 02/ 2/2014 #

@tkoufus I sure will. After this one wraps!
