In addition, any funny stories or otherwise, write them down. This will help future generations form mental images of what members of his family were. Include details such as birthdays, death dates, middle names, cities that may have lived and approximate dates when lived there.

Try to include occupations, their spoken language, whether they finished school or while attending. The names of schools, ask about the old grade cards, this is not always fun to watch later (on everything from their parents or grandparents records).

Collect Photos available, new or old, may not seem important now, but our future generations that are like a gold mine. As you will find in your search, far too many photos have been discarded.
