Create A Story in Datebook

Regarding Sue's tip about using a datebook for recording family events, I have an additional step to add.

When a birthday comes up on the family calendar, I write a story about that person, using the material I have available. It may be a few sentences, paragraphs, or pages. Then the "story" is included with the other family papers. Once everyone has a story, it will be a big start on writing our family history. Remember, there are no big jobs, only small ones.
