A lot of our fond memories surround those fun times with family members. I can think of some back in my childhood of driving to visit my grandparents, aunt, uncles or just spending time with my own parents. I loved hearing them tell stories of the depression, of learning their skills for their careers, and of fun mischievous stories of pranks they played on each other.

I haven't tried Ancestry yet,but my granddaughter is in 5th grade and she was asking me yesterday about her pedigree.It is an assignment for that grade,she was amazed that I remembered all the dates of births and deaths for many generations in my family.I only know a couple of generations on my husbands side.Grandmothers are suppose to have all the answers,just kidding.Eva will think Donna has them.

ReplyDeleteMy great grandmother lived with us until her death when I was a teenager. One of my best memories, is learning to cook at her elbow.The entire time she cooked, she would tell me stories of her "grand tour" of Europe with her then "beau",who later became my great grand dad. I never met him, for he died in the war before I was born,but I always felt I knew him thru her stories.
ReplyDeleteI am looking forward to using ancestry.com in the hope of find a link my family back to the famous James family. My mother was a James and told the story of a night in her childhood days of Frank and Jesse coming to their house and grandma fixing them supper. It would be great to finally find this proof and preserve it in an awesome scrapbook.
ReplyDeleteI am still trying to trace my grandfather who came from germany, so far no luck. I will be 77 on 2/21/12 and want to get the family tree finished for my grandkids.
ReplyDeleteI have so many awesome memories of "Nana", my dad's mother, Emma. She was sweet, loving, funny and totally taught me a lot. Now, I have a Granddaughter named Emma, who calls me Nana!!! It is fantastic!
ReplyDeleteGreat memory! Can you reply with your name so that I can enter you into the contest drawing?
DeleteMy dad's parents traveled with tent shows from the mid twenties through 1942.I loved the stories they told of their travels and all of the show people.Most people don't know what tent shows were.I'm trying to write down the history for my children and grandchildren before it is lost.I love scrapbooking and I'm working on a heritage book now.

Some of my favorite memories were spending time with my mom and my girls on a bus trip going to New York City at Christmas time. We always have a good time!

My cousin and I would take a road trip every year. Sometimes we would decide where to go just a day or two before we were to leave. I never dreamed I'd end up living in the town we loved to visit the most.
