the history of light bulbs

the history of light bulbs

What you do baby boomers and seniors to keep their family history? Sad to say my score on the rates are subject to + C, better. Is there a person or persons designated to maintain and preserve the history of your family?

I just finished a book on the desert of Oregon that was written by two boys whose parents were farmers. They were of "great works" when 10.

I remember my parents giving me a good use of Junior Stevens 22 caliber rifle in my tenth birthday – and certainly not as a toy, but to be used solely to put food on the table. The gun was a single shot and only deposits are used for short.

When we need the meat, the mother gave me three balls and I silently disappeared into the woods on our farm in Texas where there were lots of squirrels. Sometimes I came home with three squirrels, often only when I turned too fast. The rabbits were as follows in the family diet – preferably cotton tail rabbits.

Stories like this are included in my attempts to add to our history. I think our history should include elements is not born, married, the number of off spring and death.

About 6 years ago I decided to take a camera and a microphone to visit friends on the Internet. Then exercised my right not sleep a whole night (which happens almost every night anyway), and put actual time to start recording the history of my immediate family. It took several nights of recording, but he has seven CDs.

There are many "products family history" to Web sites where you can get a lot of useful information.

Title of my story ....? fair project

I am doing a project just on the history of the life and legacy of Nikola Tesla (indeed I can not use "the life and legacy of Nikola Tesla"), who was an inventor who invented the light bulb that we use today, Food, Tesla coil, radio, so I need a good title (which is not used very often, not Nikola, "Tesla")

A real spark. Something like that?
