With the new year starting I would like to encourage all to take a moment to remember our family and the good memories that we have had. Imagine if the stories that you have been told were never shared with your children, what a loss this would be.
So with my emotional appeal to you take a moment, five minutes at least, and write or record a memory for your posterity. These nuggets of memories are golden to us that receive them. It is important to have them.
For me just to have five minutes of my great-grandfathers voice is wonderful to me. Can you remember hearing yours? For many all we have is a short journal entry, even that is great. As a descendant I value hearing and reading the snippets of our ancestry. With the technology of computers we can all share what we have and duplicate the artifacts of our past with ease and little cost.
If you need help with technology and archiving your family documents get in touch with me and I'll give you some tips to get started in the preservation and distribution.
Take care and have a Happy New Year!
