ON another thread we are discussing family history-- tracing our ancestral line.

Now I am in favour of Us all recording our own lives for POSTERITY.

Mostly when we are young we are too busy just living our own lives and very often its retired people who later have the time and inclination to search for their families.

If we actually do try to record our lives--maybe keep diaries or these days video ourselves and families--- then when our descendants start searching information about US-- there wil actually be a record that we have written or organsised about ourselves-- plus other members of family-- plus the tremendous changes that happen during our life time.


So Have any of you recorded your lives and experiences-- feelings etc up till now?


Its well worth doing for those who follow you.


Because often when tracing family history there's not an awful lot of real information about your ancestors.


I wonder that as the Japanese have a special day to celebrate their own ancestors-- whether they also record family history and every day life-- special events etc etc.


diaries are a good start-- and can be a revelation when one re-reads said diary years later. So have any of you made a start on writing or recording your own life history?
