PURPOSE:
To finally capture family stories and details from 5-6 generations of your family, to identify people in photos, and then to present it all in a creative, shareable way for you and your family to enjoy for generations to come.
1. Family stories connect us to something greater than ourselves. Writing down and talking about your family, its history, and your stories is one of the best gifts that you can give to your children and grandchildren.
2. Life stories, memories, visions, one’s version of things, all this can only be told by the one person who experienced them. No one is here forever… so best to write it down before all is lost. You can have it started and finished in just 1 month’s time.
3. This unique and simple process and a template make this otherwise overwhelming endeavor, very achievable. It only needs to be as detailed as you feel comfortable with — anything is better than nothing at all.
And it will be fun and rewading… I promise!
