RE: Start your Memoir NOW (or Blog about your life). Have it be a Record of Our Times...
The other thing besides memoirs is the family history. It too gets lost and then we ask our parents about family members, but by the time we do, they seem to have forgotten 🙁
Good one @thistle-rocks ! We have some of our family history down because of having family members interested in genealogy etc. but there are still many questions I wished I would have asked my parents while they were still alive. One of them is where did my name come from?
My name is Patrice, which I later found out is a french male name, I'm female, and there is no other family member in our family tree with that name. How did they choose that name.
My friend had a great book (journal) she was working on with her grandmother that had different questions to ask to bring out conversations. She could work on it with her grandmother and her grandmother could also answers some of the questions by herself. Lovely way to get some of these memoirs down.
