Preserving Personal Pasts — One Story at a Time

The stories are out there: in Brooklyn, in Atlanta, in San Francisco, in Mesilla, N.M., and in tiny Upstate New York towns like Rensselaer Falls.

Try this at home …

Keep an oral record of your family history with your own recordings.
Find a grandparent, parent or sibling and try these StoryCorps-recommended  conversation starters:

• What was the happiest moment of your life?

• What are you most proud of?

• What are the most important lessons you’ve learned in life?

• What is your earliest memory?

• How would you like to be remembered?
