Yearbooks from high school or college are one of the most fun records for a genealogist to search. It provides you with much story-like information about your ancestor’s life. What their interests were, what sports and clubs they participated in, and often some goofy snapshots of them before they became an adult. And of course, you get to see what they looked like.
Here are a few articles that may convince you to research these gems:
