PRESERING THE PAST FOR FUTURE GENERATIONS. Family Threads makes honoring your heritage easy. If you have already begun to collect your family stories or if you are just getting started, we can help. Family Threads offers interviewing, transcription, editing services, consultation and bookbinding. We also offer a short interview session that can be turned into an affordable meaningful and interesting documentation of one's life.

This is an amazing gift to give to your parents, yourself and your kids. It keeps us intact with our past and creates a sense of belonging. It gives us a solid foundation to grow from and it helps us to live our lives with greater understanding. How can you be without knowing where you?ve been? Or, as Kierkegaard put it "Life can only be understood backwards". Recording a personal history is also therapeutic. The life review process has been shown to lower blood pressure, strengthen the immune system, lower levels of depression and increase problem-solving skills and self-esteem.

Jenny McPherson is the founder and owner of Family Threads. She has a B.A. in visual anthropology. She is a member of the Association of Personal Historians, a group of people dedicated to preserving life stories. DON'T LEAVE THE FUTURE BEHIND.
