Why Hire a Personal Historian

 

Families often intend to take time to interview a parent or grandparent and record their stories, but few ever get around to it. Many become intimidated with such a daunting task. Busy schedules and distance can also make this time- intensive project an overwhelming effort.

 

Clients are often more candid in telling their story to someone outside of their family. An independent listener is more likely to gather a factual account from the related stories. A skilled Personal Historian offers no judgment, but expresses a genuine interest and fascination with the lessons and experiences of the life journey.
