Even with journals there will probably be one person who will get all of them, and then the next generation might not want them and into the trash they'll go. (Or not.) My mom kept journals. When we were cleaning out her house, I left them till the next weekend. When I went back the next weekend either my brother or sister got rid of them. (Unless they still have them and they're not telling me....)<br /><br />It's an interesting exercise. I feel the lack of information acutely when I try to put together the pieces of my ancestors' lives.Nancyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12136584654825212359noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-425662299326279184.post-10370019878094309102012-03-06T21:54:48.687-05:002012-03-06T21:54:48.687-05:00Hi Kathy,
Wow! You and I are exactly the same age ...Hi Kathy,<br />Wow! You and I are exactly the same age and the historical events that had such an impact on you did on me as well. You make a good point about what descendants will know about you based just on the facts. Not much, really, right? Now I'm spending all this time trying to figure out what to write about my ancestors, but have written virtually nothing that will give my kids a clue about me! (except that I'm obsessive about my family history, but they already knew that!)\<br />:-) Thanks for dropping by again!Linda Gartzhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00740477693031139484noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-425662299326279184.post-55409240738220763302012-03-06T16:57:31.202-05:002012-03-06T16:57:31.202-05:00Very nice!
