FamilySearch.org, be sure to check under "Memories" tag for each individual.

The second half of the month won't be quite as polished, as I'm not aware of a bunch of published genealogies to draw from.  The stories will be a bit more factual, with a snapshot of the times and places where they lived.  But first, I'll give an overview of some of the neat tools that are available for the FamilySearch.org genealogist!
