Top five memory books

Stephen Wilton Stephen Wilton

With the trend of tracing your family tree becoming increasingly popular in recent times, many people are discovering just how difficult it is to find documents relating to their ancestors. With that in mind, to make the process a little easier for generations to come, many people are choosing to record their details in memory journals or books. Here, we will be looking at five of the best.

It comes packed with some 150 stimulating questions that have been carefully measured with the purpose of prompting memory recall of past experiences. The book not only allows for detailed responses but also permits anyone to attach photos. The book is produced in acid-free, archival-quality paper. To Our Children's Children: Journal of Family Memories As ‘To Our Children's Children: Preserving Family Histories for Generations to Come’ soon became a bestseller, the publishers were quick in releasing this companion guide.
