Is it something considered "important" by most families in the USA? Do Grandparents take the time to do this? You see it in movies all the time: The Grandpa has his young nephew on his knee and is telling him old war-time stories...etc.
I've noticed that in my family, if the young'uns don't ask about the family history, usually the family won't tell that much about it. I really, really want to write everything down because what I've learned so far is just amazing. They're busy with other things, though, so I have to ask!
I know some cultures are really big on knowing your heritage and I'm just a little curious if this is part of American culture, too. Is this something that Grandparents worry about?
Thank you for your time and answers!
