liz,
You have to write it, I started in 1994 to write my story from 1936 to present day and still going strong, up to 40 odd pages now. My father persuaded me to do it just before he died and our Family history research is now evident on our web-site and plus many other recorded CD's.
It is a must to keep our heritage alive.
Best wishes... I enjoy your readings.
