I'm going to take a look at the air-tite display cards. It sounds like there could be potential there! The aquarium idea would make a great display case, but I want to keep everything together and not make it easy in the future to break it up (more chance of it having a longer life and not broken up in the future)

I'm thinking of starting with my kids and work up to their Great-Great-Grandparents, 5 generations from 1878 (oldest identified GG on my side) to 2014 (my youngest child)- I do have some research and identifying to work on my wife's side.

If you can get back to the right people in your past the effigy on a coin's obverse can show what thhe person looked like.

About 10 years ago, I bought Choice BU Lincolns from the birth years of the five members of my family--1927, 1929, 1954, 1959 (me), and 1960 (27/29->my parents, 54/60->my sisters).

I then mounted them in a frame on a green velvet background and gave the gift to my parents for Christmas. They loved it and my dad still keeps it up on the table in the front room. My mom passed away in 2012.
