My grandmother always included photocopies of old family journal's in with our Christmas presents each year.  I would spend many Christmas afternoon's reading those journal entries from the 1800s and early 1900s....the actual present sitting off to the side...not nearly as interesting as the photocopied journal entries!

I began my website FamilyHistoryProducts.com in late 2000. 

I created a workbook to help trigger memories and to help people tell their life story without being a "great" writer.

This workbook that I call Memorygrabber, has recieved a lot of praise from those who use it.  It has also been used 

1. In the classroom at Duke University

2. To help a group of veteran's with Post Traumantic Stress Syndrome

3. By a post graduate student at the University of Kansas for her Masters in Gerentology!

My articles have been published on many website
