Do you know your family’s history? If not, it’s time to start documenting and preserving it! It’s important to keep life stories because they provide a link between generations and help us understand our ancestors better. So get ready to start capturing your family’s unique story!
What should I know about this?
Here are some tips on how to document and preserve your history:
- Start by interviewing your older relatives. They are the keepers of the family history and can provide a wealth of information about your ancestors. Be sure to ask them about their childhood, their parents and grandparents, and any other relatives they can remember. Write down everything they say, or better yet, record the interviews so you can listen to them later.
- Another great way to document your history is to research public records. You can find birth, death, marriage, and divorce records online or at your local courthouse. These records can help you piece together your family tree and get a better understanding of your ancestors’ lives.
