How would you categorize a "Baby Book Family Tree"? I recently found one of my distant cousins still has her baby book. This was filled out by her mother and grandmothers. One grandmother was my great aunt. The information in the baby book gave me another source for indentifying my ggg grandfather.
Also how would I enter this source? Would I consider it to be similar to a family bible? I have the scanned copies of the Family Tree in her Baby Book.
