This one that I mentioned will be a lot of journaling, too, and I don't know if I should write the things, or type them. And the people I have no photos of - should I just use their descriptions?

If you don't want to use the actual old photos, you can have copies made and then give them the "antique" look by burning the edges on a stove. Be careful though! I always have at least doubles of my pictures - I use one set to actually put in the scrapbook and I keep another in a photobox.
There are many beautiful journaling pens you could use, but you would definitely have to be careful to not "mess up" if you are going to journal directly on the scrapbook. Or you could do the journaling on a seperate piece of paper that is color-coordinated and work it into the page after you have a "final copy".
I've done it both ways - typed and actually hand-writing, but I try to stay consistent in the entire book.
