What ignites the desire to learn some interesting facts about personal family history? You hear a mysterious, dynamic, questionable story—is it real or imagined? Fact checking shows how essential it is to have documentation to back up the story. In families, the difficulty with random recall illustrates how family histories can be confused, or lost over time if they are not shared and documented. In this one evening session geared for ages 16+, you will be part of a multigenerational learning and listening experience. Participate in a “begin with what you know” story circle and witness what happens to family stories over time. Learn the importance of sharing and documenting your stories, and the value and impact they have to this and future generations.
