Write Your Own Family History
Write Your Own Family History
A lively guide to finding out about and recording the stories of the people around you.
What was school like for Grandma? What was your Great Uncle's first job? What can we find out from old photos, documents and objects?
This inclusive introduction encourages young history detectives to discover more about the people, places and significant events within their own locality and family. It also provides a compact way for them to record all their findings.
There are suggestions for questions to ask older members of the community and ideas for topics to explore from toys and games to clothes, hairstyles, food, transport and holidays in order to find out just how much things have changed within living memory.

About the Author
Jane studied English at Exeter and Art History at York. She has worked on various Usborne dictionaries, encyclopaedias and learning books, and her edition of the Usborne Illustrated Dictionary was awarded a prize for a significant contribution to children's literacy. She has two sons and three stepsons who are now scattered across the globe. She gets a huge thrill from seeing her books on sale when she travels to the USA and Australia.
