Memoirs and Family StoriesWhy a memoir? What binds a family together? What are the stories worth remembering and passing from one generation to another? Why do we want to know, understand, and record what happened in the past? Through the process of answering these questions, we can distinguish one story from another. It has been established that the more children know about their family’s history, the stronger their sense of control over their lives. In fact, the single most important thing you can do for your family may be the simplest of all: develop a strong family narrative. And, once you know your story, honor the past, but more importantly, live in the present. Make new memories for your descendants to talk about and continue to grow your own family tree.
