Life Story, Autobiography, Memoir, Personal History. Whatever you choose to call it, a Life Story is your first-person account of the events, experiences and relationships which shaped the course of your life.
Life Stories and Ancestries complement each other naturally. Ancestries, or Family Histories, document and provide information about families (family trees) as a whole. Life Stories (the leaves) provide detailed background for these histories in the context of a single family member or group of family members.
Life Stories provide a first-person account of the events, experiences and relationships in your life. These stores can be shared with children and grandchildren, and be passed down from generation to generation. In addition to providing a historical account, Life Stories provide a glimpse into the unique personalities which make up a family tree. They also provide meaningful context for photos, family heirlooms, and other memorabilia which is passed down through the generations.
Anyone! It doesn’t matter who you are, or what your background. You may already have Life Stories which your parents, grandparents or other relatives and ancestors have written, or you may be the first in your family to write one. Married couples sometimes choose to write their stories together in single volume. Sometimes, writing Life Stories even becomes a collaborative activity, with other family members providing their own memories and contributions. For beginning writers, Life Stories provide a unique opportunity for self-expression, as YOU ARE THE SOLE EXPERT on the subject of your life!
The vast majority of Life Stories are written for family, friends and future descendants. Occasionally, an Author may recognize that their story provides entertainment, educational or historical value for others, and may choose to publish their Story for public consumption.
