One of the main reasons why I started writing things down with stories and all, was because my mother or dad, would comment about this and that.. with the assumption that I knew what they were talking about... Now, they are used to me stopping them when I say....wait, wait, wait.. I don't know this...he/she did WHAT to whom and why??? If you've never written down any memory, oh what your descendants will miss!! We all what more for our research than just names and dates.. we are committed to bringing our ancestors to life for our living family and those to come.. Right now.. if you haven't already....write down one family story, legend, memory... and before you store it in your gedcom's, send it to the List.. we are asking, in particular, for stories about our maternal ancestors or grandmothers, because of Women's History Month... So, get your thinking caps on, and start typing... it's really not as hard as you think.. you really know more than you think you do... You might begin with any of these: I remember my parents told me that........ When I was young... When my grandparents were little...... My grandmother [or insert which woman] was really a pistol.. she used to..... Now, let's see what you come up with! Lanita
