I don't have anything in my inventory that was specifically used in this layout but journaling boxes could be used. In this example, the journaling was done on oval shapes. This layout was contributed with the following notes: (The last name was blurred for privacy at the owner's request.)
Ronald: You were named after your grandfathers. Your first name was from your Dad's father. His name was Ronald Douglas . He was born on June 22, 1922 in Greening Island, Maine.

Dmitry: You have two middle names. Your second middle name is Dmitry. This was your first name when you were born in Russia.
