The class was about the importance of older members of a family writing down the things that they know for their children,  grandchildren and future generations. All too often that information is lost. I hope that each of you will take a few minutes to write down the names of your grandparents, where they were from, maiden names and any details you can remember about them.  Future generations will treasure the family stories that you pass on to them. Don’t let what you know be forgotten.
