If you are a repeat reader or friend, you know that I love family stories. I long to know the details of my ancestors’ lives. They are not just names on a page to me. They are husbands, children, friends, aunts, and siblings. They each have memories of home-cooked meals and giggles with friends as children, and I aim to preserve them. All this brings me to something exciting: I am pleased to announce my new affiliation with Saving Memories Forever™!
