steve6611: Great input Ging , as I also recomended to her in an email, when I undertake family history work I always recomend to clients to start with the present day , then slowly work backwards. Talk to people in your life that may remeber events that took place maybe clearer or remember dates, etc & always keep duplicates


Good way to go about it too. thumbs up wine

I didn't read other people's advices. but I'd like to tell you what I did before--writing diary everyday.

I remember I couldn't sleep if I didn't write diary on my bed everyday when I was young girl. I wrote what I met in my work, I wrote what feeling was for this boy or that boy. hehe....etc.

After many years you can find you have a gift of yourself. it's a paper record of you life. But I've been stopped for many years after I have my daughter.

Just write they used to tell me college professors, and book doctors...Editors. Just put it all down in no sopecific order, then go back and arrange it so that it makes sense later. This is good editing practice, seeing how most agents, publishers make you edit your own stuff at first anyway.wave You got mail
