your grandparents Answer 2
I just finished one for my Grandchild. I scanned old family pictures & collected everybody's remembrences of that person. Then I went on mypublisher.com & worked it all out. each grandparent had a page ( you can do text or pictures on each page) I just wrote a preface on the first page & plunged in. I am like you-I did not want just tree limbs! I wanted him to know everything I could gather about all of them-favorite color, personality ever favorite blessings. It was GREAT!! Try it-it takes some time, but you can work on it here & there. It is the best project I ever did.I ended it with his page & what I hoped he would take with him into the future. Answer 3
I recommend this book:
The Nuts & Bolts Guide to Writing Your Life Story
by Jan Upton Seale
I took a class from this writer and she gets you on track putting your memories on paper.
Also check your public library as there are a wealth of titles on this topic. Each is useful in some way. << GO BACK to questions
