Not selling you a darn thing today but I am singing the praises of a genealogy tool that I’ve had for a year and am finally putting to good use. That would be a Flip-Pal.

Probably like you, I had a couple of shoe boxes full of family photos….. photos that only I knew who they were and photos not attached digitally to their family. Photos destined for a black garbage bag.

Took me less than a day to sit and scan all those photos with my Flip-Pal. They are scanned onto a teeny chip, which is then inserted into your computer and then you can save/place the images wherever you wish. Lift the lid, lay the photo on the screen, close the lid, press go. Easypeasy. 

And now hubby’s cousins are talking a First Cousins Only reunion in 2018. Light bulbs are going off! I’m going to ask them to bring their old family photos and I will scan them in so as to share with everybody. Hallelujah!

To me, a big flatbed scanner is not the tool for the job because it takes much longer and I wanted each photo to be scanned individually. So, dear reader, take my words of experience or not. But if you want, just Google Flip-Pal.
