Episode Summary

As genealogists, we spend so much time documenting the lives of our ancestors — but what about our stories? In this episode, Barbara explores why your own memories, experiences, and voice are just as important to preserve as the generations before you.

You’ll learn why everyday details become priceless to future generations, how to begin documenting your own life without feeling overwhelmed, and why recording even one memory can make a lasting impact.

What You’ll Learn:

• Why genealogists often overlook their own stories
• Why your everyday life matters to future generations
• How to overcome feeling “ordinary” or unsure where to begin
• Simple ways to start recording your personal history
• Writing vs speaking — choosing the method that feels right
• Easy prompts to help you begin capturing your memories
• How your story completes your family’s legacy

Key Takeaway

Your life is a vital chapter in your family’s history. Even one recorded memory becomes a gift to those who come after you.
