I don’t understand the point of a blog. How do you know they would read it? Surely better to write a book and bequeath copies in your will.

I am considering starting a Blog to tell my grandsons (now 30 and 27), and their descendants, the sort of family stories they would have heard if they were allowed to know me. I have already written a book, self-published for my grandsons and other members of my family, about my findings when I traced our ancestry. Distant cousins have given me really good feedback regarding the book but nothing from my grandsons although the book is dedicated to them and comes up if they Google their own names.

I would like to hear from anyone else who has written a Blog for their grandchildren and their descendants.
