Why are you are writing this personal history. Was it because your family or friends wanted you too? Or did you decide to do it on your own? If so,why? What may have motivated you to begin this project can be of help to others who maybe thinking of doing the same thing themselves.

It’s always a good idea to tell what you know about your ancestry. You may be the only source of information. For example, you may be the only source of knowledge about your grand parents which your grand children will never know at least in this life. You are the bridge between these generations. <br>In addition, these questions give you a chance to not only pass on what you know about them but how they may have effected your life. Your decendents will be just as interested in these people as they are in you. Again, you may be the only source of information about them. <br>If you were not all that familiar with your family’s ancestry, you may want to go to other family members and ask them these questions. | |||
