Comments on: Family History: Has it inspired you to write? http://blog.myheritage.com/2012/08/family-history-has-it-inspired-you-to-write/ Thu, 23 May 2013 13:30:12 +0000 http://wordpress.org/?v=2.9.2 hourly 1 By: Anne http://blog.myheritage.com/2012/08/family-history-has-it-inspired-you-to-write/#comment-36634 Anne Fri, 24 Aug 2012 00:55:28 +0000 http://blog.myheritage.com/?p=27026#comment-36634 Started with what was going to be ( so I thought ) a brief page for my daughter 8 years go. Got hooked and loving the family history writing. Who would have thought that one would write one day about cement of all things and railways. ( some of these on the internet as family history has also been history of an area. A family reunion saw a small newsletter type format being written for those who came and those who could not because of farming. I joined a small family history writing group and we all encourage each other - those special stories of something done while growing up recorded so rather than lost over time is there for future descendants. My self I always remember the story my mum told me called " The Woofle Bugs" about her life on the farm. Wish now she had written it down Started with what was going to be ( so I thought ) a brief page for my daughter 8 years go. Got hooked and loving the family history writing.

There I write to my great-grandmother in the year 1912 en she writes to me. Very often we are surprised about each others lives and stories. My great-grandmother Plonia Loeve was 22 years old in 1912, just married and pregnant. Everything in her life is different: her work, her clothes, her traditions, her church... I think about writing a book about her life and her era. I already did a lot of research by interviewing family, reading books, visiting museums, etc. Yes, finding information about my family inspired my to start a blog: http://www.plonialoeve.com.
