GenFriends Genealogy Chat Show: A Mom's Memories -Laura's Journey to Preserve Travel Experiences.

 




The panel, Jenny Hawran, Mary Kircher,  and I talk to Laura about her project to transcribe and add historical photos and details to her mom's travel to Russia, and other former communist countries during the turmoil of the 1990s. She tells us the steps she is taking to preserve her mom's voice while adding social and historical context to her late mom's memories. 

We could feel a bit of Laura's personality shine through her mom's writings.


Watch and learn how she is tackling this enormous task!

Do you have journals written by family members?

How are you preserving them so their stories can be told for generations?
