Celebrate National Grandparents Day; Share Family Stories

Capturing precious memories, family recipes and legends from grandparents can be easy and fun.

Grandparents hold a special place in the lives and hearts of their families, as both precious sources of wisdom and treasured stories of years gone by -- and also, as bestowers of infinite hugs, kisses and boundless love.

Grandparents frequently are the keepers of precious family memories, recipes and legends. On National Grandparents Day you can also celebrate by visiting a grandparent and capturing some life history and wisdom for future generations. Area libraries have numerous resorces to help trace your family tree as do area historical societies, including those in Riverhead.
