Product Description
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.

4.0 out of 5 stars
Very good, religion minimized though,
By
This review is from: To Children's Children Journal (Hardcover)
This fun little book is a great starting point for making a family history that can be passed on to future generations. The book works by giving the family historian a series of questions that he or she can answer, thus making the basis for the history. Topics covered include such things as family and ancestry, careers, politics, and much more.I really liked this book; it took me in directions that I never would have thought possible. Overall, though, I would only recommend this book as a starting point. For some reason, religion is covered with only a few questions in this book; while for some families it is much more important that such coverage would show. That said, though, I do think that this is a very good book. If you want to tailor make a history of your own, then it is a good starting point. But, if you want to record a history merely by answering their questions, then this book will work very well for that, too. I highly recommend this book.

Not bad, but very Amero-centric,

This review is from: To Children's Children Journal (Hardcover)
My husband and I bought this for his mother, who is English and lives in England. The book is a great place for us to start chronicaling our family history, but many of the questions are extremely Amero-centric. Just a warning if your parents/grandparents were not born and raised in the USA.

A Gift For Generations To Come,
By sillygirl412 "sillygirl412" (Ossining, NY United States) - See all my reviews
This review is from: To Children's Children Journal (Hardcover)
Recently, I began sorting through my family's miscellaneous family history files in an effort to organize and update the information. It was with this goal in mind that I purchased this book. Instead of getting something that would help me unify my information, I found that this book encourages the individuality of the people you are trying to "document" for generations to come. Filled with more thought-provoking questions than you will ever find people to answer them, this book is a comprehensive and categorical compilation of just about every question you could ever think to ask *ANYone*. It's questions are appropriate for any age level, whether you are asking your grandparents or your grand-daughter. I found this book to be a wonderful conversation-starter and I learned far more than just "facts and dates" about my ancestors from the older members of the family. Whether you are a seasoned geneologist or just looking for a starting point, this book is the next step of your journey through time. Generations to come will thank you!
