The entire front page of Family Tree Maker Magazine, received by me today, is
dedicated to this subject matter. I will not put the entire article here,
but it is a program instituted by the National Endowment for the Humanities
as a project for the new millennium. Go to the site or URL below to see a
family oriented wealth of suggestions and resources for finding and
preserving family stories and treasures, including sample oral history
interview questions, and a lot of other great ideas.
For those of you who are not in America, you could use the same things and
ideas for your own country's history. The site looks great to me.

Follow your family's story and you will discover America's history.
