Hello and welcome to my website. My name is Shirley LaPlante and I would love to be your personal historian.
Did you know that there is no greater gift we can give our loved ones than the story of our lives?
A personal history is more than genealogy, more than the names, dates and places listed on a family tree. A personal history tells the stories behind those facts and brings a family tree to life. By telling our family stories now, we allow future generations to discover their ancestors’ personalities, experiences and wisdom.
By saving our stories, in whatever
form we can, we create a legacy for
our families, make history come alive,
increase our own appreciation for the
paths our lives have taken, and ensure
that our lives will not be forgotten.
Saving lives—whether your own or
that of
a loved one in your family or
community—is what
Personal History
is all about.
