Laura Hedgecock | Sharing Stories Big and Small
Laura shares the stark difference between one grandmother who kept a notebook with memories and family information and another grandmother who fabricated the story of her childhood and said she grew up in an orphanage. We talk about visiting ancestral homes, interests that resurface after several generations, and how all stories are great stories to pass on.
In this episode Laura shares:
- The story behind her maternal grandmother’s treasure chest of memories [2:02]
- When she found out her paternal grandmother hadn’t told the truth about her father [4:09]
- Her family’s love of animals goes back at least four generations [8:18]
- How she processed her feelings about her paternal grandmother’s lies about her family [10:00]
- One way Laura connects with ancestors that have been researched by other family members [15:20]
- How some ancestral occupations are revisited in recent generations [20:35]
