About this ebook
Have you wished that you knew things about your parents or grandparents when they were still with you? Now that they have passed, you have some memories but what if they had left you their thoughts, penned down with thought and care so that you would always have their advice and memories to cherish for generations? Have you ever considered taking the time to sit down with your parents and to write down all the many memories that meant so much to them or jot down those special tidbits of advice that they always have been so good to use that is their lifes experience perfected with time?
This book is simply a format that lends itself to be a guide for one to simply jot down their thoughts on many subjects, just a paragraph at time. There are many given topics to write about, and then there are topics that one may select and choose to write about. Some topics are just ones memories or feelings that they had about special events or people. Some topics are how-to tips on their personal experience dealing with certain situations (gardening tips, fix-it tips, etc.).
What an HONOR it is when your children ask for your advice! What love one feels when a child, grandchild, or loved-one receives a personal hand-written bit of memories, expressing their personal emotions, felt during special events!
Included is an expanded Family Tree that can easily be used to show not only your blood relatives but also the step relatives or adopted family members.

About the Author
UT%20inside%20cover%202.jpgPreface
Unburied Treasure is a simple guide to unlocking treasures stored inside the memory banks of ourselves or those we love. These treasures are readily available, and no key is needed to bring them to light; all that is needed is a guide on how to present them. What a gift to leave those we love! What a gift of honor it is to ask our parents and grandparents for this information!
Often we may have wanted to leave a life lesson to our children and our grandchildren, but we never really had the opportunity to talk to them about the subject or felt comfortable speaking to them about a particular subject. We have advice on how to handle a situation or even a tip on how to get out a type of laundry stain. Unburied Treasure helps us—the writer—leave our thoughts, advice, life experiences, family history, career highlights, recipes, how-to tricks, and unique personal information for our loved ones. Unburied Treasure shows it can be done in an easy to follow format: simply fill in your answers to given subjects or topics.
The writer can respond to specified topics that
