    Family History Software: Helping Your Family To Leave Legacies Through Stories 

    One of the legacies most often lost between generations is the writing of one’s anscestors, whether it be love letters, which are obviously the most sentimental and touching, or things like stories, poems, or anything else that the great great grandparent may have written. I think family history software should definitely allow for the preservation and presentation of such tales. While it may not make sense for family tree software to accomodate written stories, other type of software, such as programs that organize photos and videos, would be good for this. But it would be nifty for a family tree diagram to allow you to see which ancestor had writings and be able to click to open up such stories.

    Because I think it would be great for my grandchildren and great grandchildren to know what my son has written as a boy, I am having him write as much as he can, including the story that follows here. This is part one of many.

    Gavin sweated as he and his dragon Freeze rode over the tree tops. They were headed to Gavin’s master’s house. His master was the great wizard and this was his second visit. The wizard was probably the most feared man in the kingdom. Or most feared beast no one knew if he was man or beast. The wizard was one of the most powerful kinds, a shape shifter. The wizard became interested in Gavin when he saw how powerful Gavin and his dragon were. One night Gavin and Freeze were hunting in the forest. Freeze was still a young dragon, about two years old. They were rabbit hunting for Gavin’s family. They were chasing after a rabbit one night when they lost track of it. They heard howling and a horrible ripping nose.

    They found the rabbit ripped apart at the base of a tree. They realized that they had gone into the forbidden part of the forest where werewolves lurked. They heard howling and realized it was time to get out of here. Gavin and Freeze scurried forward to where there was nothing in the way for Freeze to take off when a werewolf pounced onto Freeze. Freeze was about six feet long and two and a half feet tall on four legs. He is a fearsome dragon for his age but was taken by surprise when the werewolf pounced on him. Freeze roared as the werewolf dug his claws into Freeze’s leg. Freeze roared again as he speared the werewolf with his tail. Gavin had to think fast because the rest of pack would be herein seconds and they were no match for them.

    Gavin yelled for Freeze to get up a tree when the rest of the pack came. Three more werewolves attacked Freeze and one lunged at Gavin. Gavin ducked out of the way just in time. Freeze whined as two werewolves bit into his back…FREE TO COPY Articles at GlossaryBlog
