Edwards Family Memories

As the years pass by, so do the generations that can tell us the stories of our family history. As children, many of us enjoy spending time with our grandparents but don’t take the time to really remember their stories or ask questions about when they were children. Then as adults, we are consumed with raising our own families and often too busy to listen to our older generations. Until, one day it’s too late. They have passed on and taken the stories of our past with them. Unless you have had a family archivist, someone whose passion is family history and storytelling, those stories may be lost forever.

I often wish, now that I am in the latter half of my 40s, that I would have taken the time to listen to the stories of my grandparents, aunts, and uncles. Alas, I did not. I am blessed in the fact that I still have my dad and 2 of his 4 siblings still with us. There are a few cousins and several 2nd and 3rd cousins.

My attempt here is going to gather family photos, from all who want to share what they have. Listen to their stories and share that here. I have access to most, if not all of my granny’s old photos and I will try to piece together what I can about the history and who’s who in the photos.

I hope that family members will send photos and stories too, for me to publish on here. I hope that you enjoy this journey as much as I think I will as we explore of family stories.
