The most important notes about each item are in bold. Write down these notes about each item to find the relationships between them. Each should relate to an item before and after (with the exception of the first and last.) Use the acquisition dates to organize the items on the timeline. (Here is an example using a hypothetical timeline: Item 1 was acquired in 1923 in Wales and sold to Mr. Bumblesnatch. Item 2 was found on the property of Mr. Bumblesnatch in 1933 and traded for a deck of antique tarot cards. The Mrs. learned of Item 3 while receiving a tarot card reading in 1943 while aboard the MS. Queen Mary.) See how there is a related idea that connects Item 1 to 2, and then Item 2 to 3?
