Liked your article. However, I and many of my friends find it easier to write our "Life Story" in "Short Stories". We have been meeting for over six years - twice a month (before Covid19) where we share our stories and learn from one another. We are leaving a legacy of stories for our descendants. Reading short stories ancestors are much easier than reading one long life story.

This is wonderful! There are so many ways to "do Family HIstory" and this is one of my favorites, especially for those of us who have fully filled out family trees in every direction. The "Memories" section of Family Search is just waiting to be clicked on and added to. Pictures, autobiographies, biographies, articles, mementos....but most important -- What is OUR story? Why wait to let someone else tell it? And the time is now for getting those stories from our relatives in their waning years. Thank you for this awesome help! Let's go and do!
