Fifteen Reasons to Write Your Family History

\"A family history can be more valuable than people realize - both for writers and for their descendants. Not only will a family history preserve precious memories for future generations, but also at least fourteen other benefits may be gained from writing your story,\" says author Lillie Ammann.



    /24-7PressRelease.com/ - San Antonio TX, April 19, 2005 - She shares five of the benefits of writing a family history or personal memoir:

1. To honor your ancestors. Your parents, grandparents, and generations before them probably went through many hardships that made your life easier, or even possible.

2. To heal old wounds. Writing about hurts of the past can be a catharsis to allow you to forgive others - or yourself - for hurts and wrongs.

3. To remember the happy times of your life. When you write about joyous occasions, you will experience the joy all over again.

4. To share your values and beliefs. Children and grandchildren may understand your beliefs and values better by reading how you formed your values and how you lived them.

5. To enrich the lives of your family and your descendants. You are unique with a voice like no other, and when you are gone, your family can take comfort in reading your words ... and remembering you.
