History is so much more than names and dates and places, but that is often all we know about our past. Does your family history mostly consist of names, dates and places too? What if you could flesh out the hyphen between birth and death with real human stories - stories that make the hopes and dreams, successes and even failures of your ancestors tangible and alive? How much greater would your understanding of world events in history be if you knew almost first hand how it affected your ancestors?
Maybe you’ve landed here because you lost someone before realizing how little you really knew about them. I know that feeling well as I lost my mother prior to discovering pictures and writings of hers. ...so many unanswered questions. ...so much evidence of a vibrant youth I knew so little about. My lost opportunity motivates me to help others avoid a similar circumstance in their lives.
Have you thought about your own legacy? What will your friends and relatives both now and in the future really know of you? It has long been said that “history is written by the victors.” Then why not BE a “victor.” Don’t just let credit bureaus and government agencies write your history with more names, dates and places. Act now to capture and share your memories, stories, wishes and desires and claim your victorious legacy throughout time.
