Did you ever consider that, since your ancestors were there, history is a part of you? The actions of your family members may even have shaped history. Your older family members have a story to tell. Capturing those stories while they are still here to tell them can change your life.
Author and genealogist Connie Lapallo talks about how growing up with four generations all living together brought the past to life for her … and how writing down her great-grandmother’s stories at eleven years old changed her. Her historical fiction novels are based on real family members and the world they lived in.
