| Top Ten Reasons to Preserve Family Stories |
 Connect - You are a unique connection from the past to the present and future. Stories you heard from your family will be preserved for future generations.
Honor - Your descendants will come to know your parents, grandparents and other family members as more than a name and a date on the family tree. You will be able to honor your ancestors.
Tribute - In your life story, you can pay tribute to the special people in your life who helped you or taught you - family, friends, teachers, mentors.
Inspire - Through describing how you overcame difficult times, you can provide inspiration for someone facing similar challenges in the future.
Reassure - In relating the hard times, your family members will have reassurance knowing that happiness will return after tragedy and love will triumph over adversity.
Teach - You can teach useful coping and survival skills to your descendents, helping them avoid the pitfalls in life.
Assist - You can leave a legacy of your morals, values and spiritual beliefs to assist and inform others, in a lasting and profound way.
Entertain - You can entertain your loved ones with funny stories and anecdotes that might otherwise be lost.
Create - You create an accurate historical picture of what life was like for you and others of your generation through your stories. This draws a much richer and more interesting portrait than reading facts and figures in a text book.
Relate - You grew up in a world largely foreign to your grandchildren. Think of all the changes that have happened since you were born! They will be fascinated with your memories and will deepen their relationship with you by getting to know you better.
