Take the LivingGenealogy Challenge!

As a generation, we are priveleged to enjoy an abundance of technologies that enrich our lives.  We have cellular phones, computers, microwaves, digital cameras, the Internet and many, many more technological miracles that even our grandparents could never have imagined.

As such, our generation is uniquely positioned to use some of this technology to preserve and share our heritage.  With the click of a mouse and a few stikes of a keyboard, we can record some of our insights into our ancestors' lives, preserving them for future generations to get to know them too and sharing their lives instantly with relatives near and far anywhere in the world.

This week, I am offering a challenge, to myself and to any other LivingGenealogists interested in accepting:

Create a "Person Page" for each of our parents, grandparents or great-grandparents.

This generation (our parents, grandparents or great-grandparents) is so fascinating!  They have lived through world wars, the rise and fall of nations, the invention of the automobile and air travel, etc., etc., etc.  And because they're only a generation away, it is quite easy for us to obtain photos, stories and memories from their lives. 

Creating a "Person Page" for each of them - in which we record some of the most interesting aspects of their unique lives, and the photos that tell a thousand words - will allow these ancetors' stories to live on, touching the lives of their descendents for generations to come and introducing us to our own heritage.

Do you accept the challenge?
