Your Family Memoirs Organisational Memoirs Professional Background Advisory and Writing Service A League of Their Own Help and Advice Home	Your Family Memoirs The importance of memoirs is underestimated. They contain all the stories that you cannot get from history books and insight into different ways of life. For the family it is also a glimpse inside a life that would not otherwise have been remembered or celebrated. There is a growing interest in genealogy but while a family tree can tell us about our ancestors occupations, it cannot bring their experiences to life. To redress this balance for the future we need to capture what it was like growing up in the early years of the last century. Do you know what your grandparents childhoods were like? What they did at school and in their working lives? Stories of everyday lives can be fascinating and it shows us all just how much things have changed; how much more quickly that change is happening for our own children and how we can best help them to understand the past.
	A Memoir is the greatest gift you can give your family. It is truly unique and will be an important part of the legacy you leave for future generations. Memoirs tell us everyday and important stories about real lives, capturing the sense of personal presence with the use of their own words and pictures from the family album. Memoirs are informative, enjoyable and empowering. The person being interviewed feels valued and can gain a new interest in life. The younger generation can close the gap they often feel with their elderly relatives.
	Can our children really understand what it was like not just without TV and computers, but without cars, bathrooms, washing machines or even electricity? Many among us who have not yet reached retirement age will still remember the horse and carts delivering coal, milk, fizzy pop and bread to each house. A family memoir would be a treasured family heirloom and would make a unique gift. The account could focus on an elderly relative's early life, the start up of a family business or personal experiences during the war. It will let future generations understand more about their family history and background. A family history is a unique record which provides a valuable source of information for researchers and historians.
