Saving Stories

Some of us are lucky enough to inherit a memoir or genealogy from an ancestor who took the time to compile it. Very few of us have more than one such inheritance, and many have none at all.

Imagine if you could have access to the life stories of all your grandparents, or even your great-grandparents, told in their own words. You would have insight into the life circumstances, decisions and thoughts of the people who helped shape you, whether or not you had the good fortune to know them personally. Who knows how this knowledge might inspire – or caution – you as your own life unfolds.

By recording your own stories and personal history, you can be part of creating this treasure for future generations.

Saving Stories is a personal history service dedicated to preserving your memoirs, milestones and personal history. Everyone has an interesting story to tell, and we can help you ensure that future generations have a record of what your life was like.

The stories of your life will be a meaningful gift for your family, friends and others. Further, the process of creating this narrative will help you reflect on your life. For many people, legacy is one of the important themes of later years. Memoir is a way to record your legacy, and you may even surprise yourself with new insights.

Our clients have three typical profiles:

• People with the time and motivation to tell their stories, either in written or oral form;
• Adult children who want to capture their parents’ stories before it’s too late;
• People of any age who want an unforgettable gift for a milestone birthday or anniversary, or who want to memorialize a loved one so his or her life will not be forgotten.

Each project is unique, and we would be happy to offer you a free consultation to discuss possibilities for yours.

We look forward to working with you to preserve your memoirs, milestones and personal history!
