Take time to record and preserve your own personal history as well as taking care of your family’s genealogy. Amy Coffin of the We Tree Blog has authored this fine series of 52 prompts (one for each week of the year) to help you achieve your personal or family history goals. Use these prompts, as you see fit, to chip away at recording your memories as well as life’s lessons learned for the benefit of future descendants. Use your computer or record your memories on paper. If you have a blog, record them there. These make great prompts for interviewing relatives, too.
Many thanks to www.GeneaBloggers.com for hosting Amy’s series on their site. Go there if you’d like to join the genealogy blogging community, or if you’d like to see aggregated comments on this series from many genealogy bloggers.
Here’s this week’s challenge/prompt:
Week 37: What is your EARLIEST memory?
R. Shawn of Mesa, AZ states, “I remember meeting my best friend (Ken Robertson) in kindergarten in Miss Crabtree’s class. We made a big airplane out of huge wooden blocks. Ken was pilot and I was co-pilot.” Their kindergarten was at at Tincher Elementary School in Long Beach, CA. Shawn and Ken are still friends after all these years later. Ahhh, the memories
Take time to explore your memories or interview your loved ones and document those memories today. Gather old photos and add life to your stories. In no time at all, you’ll have another memory recorded and be one step closer to compiling your own history.
