The following was on the South Carolina mail site and I thought I'd share with everyone. Sometimes we get so caught up in the past, we forget the future. Nina Will we make the same mistakes our ancestors did? Have you written down important and trivial info for your grandchildren such as: 1. Favorite: color, book, music, movie, etc. 2. Schools you went to. 3. Your parents info: maiden names, birth/death days, sibling/parents. 4. Military, clubs, groups, occupation. 5. Hobbies, games, sports, travels 6. Favorite food, recipes 7. Where you met your spouse 8. Childhood memories 9. Faith 10. Hair color, the color of your eyes, height 11. Where you lived as a child. 12. Anything else you may think of, that you wish you knew about the ancestors you are searching.
