    3. Ancestry Quick Tip Sharing Mother's Stories with the Whole Family For several years I had been audiotaping stories that my mother had been sharing with me. We would laugh and howl at some of the antics she was involved in as a young girl of the 20s and 30s. She also shared losing a beloved younger brother, descriptions of her grandparents and great-grandparents, stories of her driving a fuel truck during WWII, and many other wonderful tales. I typed up all the stories, added some pictures of her at appropriate ages with the stories, and printed up copies of this book for my family members for Christmas 2000. The response was overwhelming! My cousins have since received copies, as their parents were siblings or cousins mentioned in the book. My mother, now 83, is still full of marvelous stories that we are currently audiotaping for Volume Two. Susan Mackey
