Porch Swing Tip of the Week: Knowing Your Grandparents

Do you know a lot about your grandparents? If you do, you’re ahead of the curve! See how you stack up; according to ancestry.com, 68% of people they surveyed were unsure how their grandparents met; just over a third (36%) didn’t know their grandparents’ occupations; 56% couldn’t name a single great-grandparent; 42% didn’t know what their grandparents looked like as younger persons; 38% couldn’t name a grandparent’s birthplace; and about a third (35%) couldn’t recall their grandmothers’ maiden names. Hmmmm…. You have your StorySite to record detailed data about yourself for your own grandchildren, the important “facts” and fun information. Be sure to upload pictures with accurate captions, especially those precious black-and-white or sepia-toned photos from long ago that they will cherish.

We want your future generations to have all the lowdown!

So, what stories can we help you with?

Jayme & John Resnik and the Porch Swing Team

We have very much enjoyed, helping people gather, tell, and preserve their life stories over the last several years.

At this time, life has other plans for us, so we are ceasing operations at Porch Swing.

If you have any questions please contact us at info@porchswingstories.com

We recommend that you save any stories you placed on your Storysite that you choose to keep prior to December 31, 2025. (Open the chapter you want to save, hit Edit My Chapter, and copy and paste to Microsoft Word or another format.)

Thanks!
