BEGINNING
& CONTINUING WRITING
YOUR LIFE STORIES
There’s a little bit of an “author” in
all of us! Some of us write descriptive letters to family and friends; some
tell the same news by telephone calls, e-mails, photos, etc. But now you
can write your family history! You may be the only person
remaining that can tell the stories. Family members would have a memorable
record of the ancestors in your stories. Don’t put it off any longer!
