Interesting project.
My mother lived to 94, and I have a spiral bound notebook entitled, "The Way Things Were" that she filled longhand about various events in her life, from anecdotes from her childhood, to when she met my father, to various other milestones in her life.
She was the middle one of 9 children, and she was bitter because her father (my grandfather) refused to let her go to high school, saying she was needed at home to help take care of her younger siblings. (I don't hold it against my grandfather, he simply did what he felt was best for the family to function at the time. In fact, he and I were always close and I sometimes think he was more of a positive influence on my life than my own father).
On that point, my mother compensated by being a lifelong bookworm. Even up to a few weeks before she passed away, she was still reading books and learning new things.
Her notebook is not in chronological order, she simply wrote about something when she thought of it. I'd like to someday find time to sit down at my computer and rewrite it in the order that things happened. It would be a treasure for the next several generations.
