I will do my best to take up that project!
Our prior generations did not have the convenience of modern word processing, publishing, etc. - and they all had a testimony. Fortunately that testimony is captured by their own Bible notes, underlines, bits of paper and such.
Again, what a wonderful idea - a testimony of Jesus Christ and a tribute to past generations all in one.
I only had a few names when I started my dad’s history, and people on Norway Rootsweb and NorwayHeritage, and even one on FR, help me find a wealth of information; census data, births and baptisms, addresses of where they lived (they sure moved a LOT), deaths, marriages, a wealth for sure. I have over 60 pages of info and memories.
I also added my Christian journey and family diseases for the future folks.
You can even photocopy what you want to from their bibles and incorporate it into the story. Sounds to me like an interesting journey! I’ve put in pictures, copies of different things like marriage licenses and declaration if intent for citizenship, actual citizenship papers for my dad and grandfather, etc. I’ll also copy them for the addendum so all papers will be together. My grandmother saved some important papers as well and I’m copying those, too, so everyone who wants copies will have them. I’ll only make copies for close relatives and put them also on disks with my two thousand photos. (Yes, two thousand. THAT was fun scanning, wow.)
