I have taken pictures to my mother many times, hoping that she will remember something about them. At 91 she doesn't remember many of the people in the photo. I have done much research and at times I am able to name people only because I have another photo with some of the individuals in them.
Remember to name folks in your photos, maybe tell a little history of the day, and place.
Another great way to preserve your family history is to keep a journal, or write your memories to share with others.
I have started my outline of my research for future generations of my family. Why don't you begin yours?
By the way, blogging is a great way to share your thoughts, research and stories with others; however remember to journal the things you write about for generations to come.... blogs and computers may not be around in the distant future... remember reel to reel tape?
