Every family should have a family historian, or perhaps two, or maybe a threesome, or more - you probably cannot have too many!
Collect from each member of the family and relative the following items.
□ A lock of hair, naturally colored, or gray, or white, or whatever is available.
□ A piece of paper with an autograph, or signature, on it.
□ A photograph or photographs.
□ Some physical details about the person, such as height, eye color, freckles, and so on.
□ Some detail about the person’s life, such as type of work he or she does, accomplishments, honors, and so on.
□ Date of birth.
□ A favorite quotation, joke, poem, short written paragraph, story, or note from the person.
Put each person’s items together on a page of a photograph album or scrapbook or in a frame or box. Keep it in a special place so that it will be available in the years to come, as for example, at family visits or reunions.
