Since 1997 the first edition has helped families capture life histories to pass on to future generations. Many families have written me to say how glad they are to have the stories down on paper, in personality-rich handwriting. Some have also shared what features made it especially easy to remember and write about their lives. I am pleased that Hyperion Publishing gave me the chance to draw on these comments to update the journal. In the new edition you’ll find:
- More space to write
- The green cover with burnt-orange trim replaces the original gray cover with red trim
- Elegant new interior design and “family tree” green color
- How-to ideas for genealogy enthusiasts
- Many of the same great questions about family friends, education, work and the world in the early, middle and later phases of life
- More questions about siblings, relatives, and special relationships
- Fun new questions
Happy memoir making,
David Marshall
