We're busy living out own life and never think of ancestors until most have gone, so take time to ask questions of them about predecessors and pass on things about yourselves to family. Write everything down.<br /><br />Thanks MA for the links to knitting/crochet.

As it is I have only one of my maternal grandfather and two of my grandmother. Three of my grandparents died before I was born. It's only since I've grown older that I realise how much I've missed. It must be great to have a family record.
