Mary L. reviewed Family Tales, Family Wisdom: How to Gather the Stories of a Lifetime and Share Them With Your Family on
As we grow older and sometimes become interested in genealogy, we often wish we knew MORE of the day to day personal stories of those who went before us. Think about those we interview now to record the special memories of their lives, and how special it would be to write it down before it's gone! In this book, Dr. Akeret explains how to make use of 'memory triggers' such as old photos, letters, ticket stubs, etc... to prompt your own family members to tell the stories you may never have heard. His many suggestions can be invaluable in recording your family's stories to share with generations to come.
