Family Histories

 

Suggestions For Submitting Your Personal/Family History

bullet

Have fun!  Writing your personal family history is an opportunity for you to take a trip down memory lane. 

bullet

Be creative!  Your family history can be written in many different ways.  You may want to tell your story in the first person, using "I" in your narrative.  Or you may decide to tell your story in the third person, like a newspaper article. 

bullet

Consider what you want others to remember about you.  You are free to write as much or as little as you please.  You may want to tell your "life story" or just one story that reflects something significant about your life. 

bullet

Try to include enough information about yourself to provide a clear picture of who you are. After all, that's the whole point. (smile)

Remember... no one can tell your story better than you.

Send your story to: info@oxford9.com   Stories will be posted to our family website (unless you request otherwise) and stored on a disk. 

 

Think you're too young to tell your story? 

Interview your parents, grandparents, aunts and uncles instead!  Write their stories and submit them to be published on the web.  We want to hear from you too!
