Start the conversations your family has never had. This holiday, the stories of the veterans in your family are waiting at the table, and so are the photos, letters, and papers that can launch your research or your book. Holiday Conversations with Our Veterans gives genealogists and military researchers more than 100 gentle writing prompts across seven parts: pre-war life, entering service and training, overseas duty, returning home, post-war life, war trauma, and generational trauma.
You’ll also get a checklist of what to ask relatives to bring, ground rules for talking about hard memories with care, a plain language look at how war trauma can echo through generations (and what it can do to those of us who research it). You also receive a simple plan for turning what you gather into a timeline, a records request, and additional exploration and research.
