Well, some progress is better than no progress right? I have written book report style biographical sketches about all four of my grandparents. So those are complete for the moment and I have started working on the great grandparents on my side of the family.
I think those biographical sketches really add something more interesting to my genealogy research. I love tracing my family tree and MY eyes glaze over at just lists of names and dates on records. So I imagine my relatives who aren't so fascinated with genealogy might really not want to read anything that just is a list of facts. Hopefully my kids and grandkids will enjoy reading snippets about their ancestors lives some day.
Here is one example of what I have for one great grandmother.
Remember to tell your family's stories.
