It doesn't have to be a big piece of national history if it is well told, which
is of course an art. I think Robert McKee's book "Story" contains a lot of good
ideas.It also depends if you have good material, for example personal journals
or diaries. Personal journals are priceless. The part on page 6/7 where a
journal entry is a quoted feels real and authentic, a bit as if you experience
"Wild Cat Creek" yourself.

kids, and especially your grandchildren, will so appreciate this kind of
memoir. Often, local historical societies welcome a copy too, because the
memoir is fine-grained enough to appeal to somebody doing local history, even
if it isn’t a big piece of national history.On Apr 25, 2019, at 12:20 PM,

after I ordered it at Amazon recently, and I have read it in the evening. When
I read the name "Kayser" of the grandparents I thought they must have a German
background, since "Kaiser" is the German word for emperor. (One of my German
colleagues is named Kaiser too). And a few pages later I read that they are
indeed descendants of German immigrants. Fascinating. It was also interesting
to read about the USS Baltimore. I like the idea of writing down the story of
the own family to preserve it for future generations. The digital world is so
short-lived and
temporary.Cheers,Jochen============================================================FRIAM
