Greetings to Family Historians:

How many of us have read old family letters? They may have revealed how our ancestors felt about world or local events that directly or indirectly shaped their lives.

I read many moving stories on the Afrigeneas Discussion Boards. The attack on Washington and New York are now a part of our family history. If we are fortunate to be far away from the horror, this week's events have still changed our lives forever.

When our children or grandchildren ask us what were you doing, what were you thinking? You can pass on an invaluable piece of family history.

Don't let the media record our history. Let's help each other in chronicling this monumental event .

Meet us in the Writers Forum.
