Personal Histories
Got memories? You may have dreamed of writing your family history and putting leaves on that genealogical family tree. Or, you might long to write your memoir but don’t know how to start. Whether your story is still a gleam in your eye or is somewhere in the development process and you have words on paper, we can help you. In fact, the journey and unique experience of writing and publishing your memoir or family history is part of the satisfaction.
We delight in drawing out those wonderful stories and bits of priceless family history. In fact, we’re quite good at it and will help you have fun in the process! One wonderful aspect of doing an oral history is that you’ll have the audio interview with your family member’s words and voice preserved for years to come. That, my friends, is irreplaceable. We can transcribe that interview into a written narrative, illustrated with photos to capture the essence of a life well lived.
Let Remembering the Time help you turn your goals and dreams for your story into a treasured book you’ll be proud to share. Our projects are as unique as you and your family are, we’re honored to help you develop the vision, write your memoir, or help you see it to completion.
