If you are like many Americans, this summer you will be attending a family reunion. And in all likelihood you started your life story or family history to present to the relatives at this years meeting. And in all likelihood it is not done.

Americans love a good storyâ¦And isnât that the essence of what your family history should be. It seems to me a family history is a collection of stories that your relatives tell about the family members. It is up to you to make sure they have as much detail as possible. As the story is retold ask the questions that you as a reader would want to know. The more questions the more details and more the story can pop off a page. The first reasons to ask the question as a motivational tool, helping you complete your work. If you can identify why you are doing a project, you are more likely to complete that project. âJust becauseâ is not a good omen that your project will be completed. So why is important to you to complete it. Life stories or Life Reviews can take a long time to complete so you want to insure the work gets done. List a group of facts that could be part of any one’s day and you write about them and you will notice that you mood and attitude of life reflects greatly on what you write. This a different kind of trigger; look at an event that happened in the last year, list the facts. Write about it as if you were writing about it that day. Write about it as you look back on the event today. |
