What
is a personal history?
It is the gift of a lifetime, connecting generations. It brings the past and the future together making a lasting legacy. It is a time capsule. The chance to tell your story, "it is weaving your life history one story at a time." It is your life told in your own words.
A personal history is one of the most valuable and lasting gifts you can give your loved ones. Looking back and sharing your special memories can be both rewarding and entertaining.
It will help you appreciate the richness of your life, the people
that have been important to you and the experiences that have influenced
you. It can be an exciting journey into your past. Everyone has a
story to tell.
Everyone has had an interesting life. Everyone's life is worth remembering. Stories are lost as our memories fade. This is the chance to hear long lost voices.
A personal historian records the stories behind the genealogy. We can be the gateway through generations. We are curious about people, the journeys you have taken and what you have seen, done and learned along the way.
You can do this on your own, using one of the numerous books on the market. You can take workshops to give you ideas on how to begin. Or you can hire a personal historian to interview, record and even help with a book of your life, your stories, and your legacy.
Petroglyphs are carvings in rocks made by ancient peoples who vanished, leaving behind these figures and symbols as silent mysteries for the admiration of all who follow. Early Americans consider petroglyphs sacred testimony of their ancestors. Personal historians are modern artists gently guiding you making your own petroglyphs come alive.
