Product Description
You collect a lot of memories over a lifetime. Here is the place to keep them.
First there was To Our Children's Children: Preserving Family Histories for Generations to Come. A collection of over one thousand evocative questions, the book offered a very personal, human approach to genealogy, awakening readers to the possibility of creating a family history through the simple act of remembering.
From this book, hundreds of thousands of individuals have learned the value of passing on family treasures made of words. However, readers kept asking Bob Greene and D.G. Fulford for a version of the book with room to record the answers.
The To Our Children's Children Journal is just that: a handy and beautiful journal posing 365 questions (one for each day of the year), with ample space for families to write their own answers. Approachable, enjoyable, and thought-provoking, the Journal is a pleasure to read and to ponder--something that, once completed, will become a lasting part of any family's history, to be put on the bookshelf and treasured for generations to come.

 To Our Children's Children July 26, 2008
June E. Coon (Plymouth MI)
I purchased this book for my 83 year old Mother because my niece kept asking her to write down memories from when she was growing up. My Mom did not even where to begin so I thought this would help by asking questions. It did and she's working on it but, from what she tells me, it's quite draining because not all memories are pleasant. She can only do 2 or 3 questions a day. She enjoyed remembering the cat and the canary she had when she was little but was saddened thinking about how her family had struggled during the Depression, lost their house and had to move often or how her brother was killed during WWII. It is interesting to hear stories I've never heard before, but be forewarned that some very sad memories might be stirred up to.

This book has a lot of interesting leading questions that will leave future generations with a great picture of who the person who has completed the journal is. My mother-in-law loves it and we plan on giving one to each sets of parents.

The questions are well thought out and interesting. This book has challenged me to revist my past and my family's past. Most important it has guided me to what it is that I want my children to know and remember about it all.
