Welcome to Heritage Scrap

"Une empreinte de moi dans la memoire des autre" - which translated is "A trace of myself...in the memories of others".   

I came across that quote on a French perfume site quite some time ago.  I believe it resonates so beautifully within the craft of family research.   Every day, even in moments we don't deem "significant" we weave memories which become the threads in our life story.   We leave these threads behind in the pages and stories we share and document.  In doing so, allow future generations to know of our life, our dreams, our struggles and endeavors - a trace of you...in the memories of others.  

We welcome you to our site and hope you will find a creative treasure to inspire you!

An excerpt from the blog site for Chapters.... "I decided to create Chapters because I myself have been meaning to write my own life story for a very long time.   I have saved many boxes of memorabilia and have numerous journals.   But I have never pulled it all together and told the story behind the “stuff”.    I have spent so much time documenting the lives and experiences of my ancestors, I never gave much thought to my own legacy and what will be lost to my children, grandchildren and great grandchildren if I do not tell them my stories."
