Write down any recollections you have about family stories. I heard a story about an 80something remembering a tale from her childhood. ‘They lived in a castle full of beautiful things,’ she said. It turned out when the research was done that her family were pawn brokers!<br /><br />Flowerpot – I hope my talk will be okay. Get your husband to write about his life. You can even get books now with a question on each page and space to answer it. Maybe an idea for Christmas?<br /><br />Thank you for commenting.

The internet has really opened up the possiblities for tracing long lost relatives and ancestors, but you're right that it's the personal stories that are often the most valuable. I wish I'd asked some of my older relatives more about their lives, but I was too busy with the business of growing up! Often we realise too late the questions we should have asked.joanne foxhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12694158807826275846noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6120437128462068350.post-37810444871179548392010-12-11T22:31:47.060+00:002010-12-11T22:31:47.060+00:00I love listening to my husband's granddad. He...I love listening to my husband's granddad. He's 92 (I think) and he has some wonderful stories of mischief he got up to in wartime Britain. Actually, some so unbelievable you couldn't give it to a character in a book - the reader wouldn't believe it. But the way he tells it, and chuckles to himself, is priceless. I'm never bored. Last year he told me how he got into the Air Force, because he refused to join the army, (when they had to enlist). Maybe this Christmas I should get my notebook out ;-)Teresa F Morganhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04368928238008888457noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6120437128462068350.post-84051933766887464432010-12-11T17:54:54.620+00:002010-12-11T17:54:54.620+00:00One of the most wonderful things my sister did whe...One of the most wonderful things my sister did when we were young was to write down stories of my grandmother's childhood. Grandma is long gone now, but when I read those stories I can still hear her voice.Julia Broadbookshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10593278225395665018noreply@blogger.com
