Organize your family history
ZURICH - Hay Township read-
ers may be wondering how to orga-
nize their family history for sub-
mission to the Hay Township
history book. It seems like a very
large task, says thc committcc com-
piling thc book for publication.
The best way to do it is to split
your family tree into individual
families. Begin by writing the story
of the latest family that resides (or
resided) in the township It may be
yourself and your children. Telt
your story. You have one -and -a -
half to two double-spaced hand or
type -written pages in which to do
it. Find one or two photos which il-
lustrate your account.
Having finished that, move hack
one generation to your parents. Tell
their story. Talk to thein. Ask them
about life in the township; school
memories, church functions, recrea-
tional activities, holiday celebra-
tions, etc.•This is a separate submis-
sion so you can provide one or two
more photos.
Now prepare the story of your
grandparents. Find out when own-
ership was taken of their property,
why they chose Hay Township if
they immigrated here, any political
or business involvement, recollec-
tions of special events, etc. Again,
photos will add to the article. Move
on to great-grandparents, etc.
By organizing your thoughts in
this way, it makes the writing of
submissions seem less cumber-
some. Each individual family who
lived in the township is document-
ed; children and spouses arc named
(include maiden name), and the
greater picture emerges, says the
committee.
Whcn delving into the past, other
photographs, clippings and stories
may emerge regarding life in Hay
Township. These will he of general
interest and the committee encour-
ages submission of them.
