What other information should I include on this form?
Something about other memberships ("Quilters Association of America") or hobbies/interests maybe?

Spike's Bitches 36: Did I Sully Our Good Name?
[NAFDA] Spike-centric discussion. Lusty, lewd (only occasionally crude), risque (and frisque), bawdy (Oh, lawdy!), flirty ('cuz we're purty), raunchy talk inside. Caveat lector.

Is this just an initial form? Are you going to put them with family stories?
Seconding Sparky. Also, honors/awards, profession.

Is this just an initial form?
Yes. This is just so I can get an idea of the "order" their lives happened and have a place to check dates, etc.
Are you going to put them with family stories?
Eventually. I'll be collecting the stories on tape, then transcribing them.

Future historians will thank you if you include county as well as city, vw. As Sparky says, I'd also include memberships in churches and major organizations such as the Masons and offices held, plus any awards or honors like "Small Businessman of the Year" or "Miss Vidalia Onion."

If you want help with that let me know. I love listening to family stories (even if it's not my family).

Oh, my. You have no idea what you just offered! The files will be digital, so I can just e-mail them to you. If you want to help, I'd greatly appreciate it. I'm going to have between 30-40 hours to transcribe.

That man was going to shank me. Over an omelette. Two eggs and a slice of government cheese. Is that what my life is worth?
Bleargh....need coffee....
And, oddly, I feel the need for ice cream Snickers.
