I loved listening to all the stories of my family and the ancestors -- I wish I would have written more of it down when I was younger. Future generations will want to know about you and your ancestors, you can give them some help by doing one of these things.
- Video Biography - there are so many ways to record lasting memories that include advice, anecdotes and life stories. Pull out your Flip, your telephone, video camera or hire a professional to record the details.
- Take Notes - ask your parents and other relatives questions and let them tell the stories. This is a great way to create a memoir with a personal touch.
- Photos - create a photo album -- or if you are really crafty, a scrapbook -- in tribute to your parents and relatives. This is a great gift to the future generations too when they wonder how we all looked in the "olden times."
- Ethical Wills - this is a way to share your values, blessings, life's lessons, hopes and dreams for the future, love, and forgiveness with your family, friends, and community.
