A-Z Challenge 2016: Theme Revealed

 
Take a nostalgic look back with 

 "Remember When...."  -

Memories from Childhood and Beyond  

                
I am a family history enthusiast, based in Scotland, sharing my interest on my blog Family History Fun. Family history is so much more than names and dates, but all about discovering stories. It is the richness of the detail in our family stories that make them so fascinating to ourselves and (hopefully) interesting to others.

Until I started writing my blog in 2011, I never saw my personal memories as part of my family history. Joining the network site Geneablogers changed all that, as I followed prompts such as "The Book of Me", "52 Weeks of Personal Genealogy", "Sharing Memories", and "Life's a Journey"
 
It it is an experience that is enjoyable, nostalgic, at times poignant, often fun, as I looked back on episodes from my own childhood.
 
 How often have I envied family historians who have a family diary or a journal from the past - an invaluable, personal heirloom to see the writing and and read the words penned by an ancestor. How often have I wished I had written down the anecdotes told by my parents and aunt.

So here is a call to Action 

---

Leave a legacy for your children and grandchildren by sharing and compiling  a record 
of your own personal memories.

I will be asking questions and posting prompts 

for you to consider.
