Hard to Find Stories
I think everyone is curious about where they come from and how their family came to be.
There are websites and services that can trace your family tree for you, but the better source of those hard to find stories are your elder family members.
If you’ve ever tried to get your grandparents or great aunt or sweet elderly neighbor to tell you their story and they’ve resisted, it may be a generational gap. In the age of technology, we are so used to being able to express our thoughts at a keyboard, on the phone or video. But many older adults were often raised to not talk about themselves, which can make it hard to get them to open up.
Knowing our history, our family’s story and our family members’ stories is such an important part of creating memories that last a lifetime. In this video, I’ll share my simple strategies for getting those amazing, life changing stories – before it’s too late.
