CHOOSE YOUR GRIOTBOOK

We wanted to provide a format and system that would not only help guide you in creating your family heirloom, but also to make it a memorable event in your life as you dig into the past of your loved ones. It would be our pleasure to put the final touches on your family’s keepsake legacy book that can be shared for generations to come.

Whether you are buying this for yourself or as a gift, we hope it provides a meaningful experience for you and your lineage.

It is nothing short of a phenomenon that the Ancestors would drop the idea of a GriotBook on a 4X Author who is also the owner and operator of a publishing company since 2007. The GriotBook family wanted to bring the Ancient Artistry of Village Story telling back to the forefront, recreating the spirit of the Griot whose main job was to keep the history of the village. Now let the Journey begin......

The Write Cipher

Just to be clear on what Family Friends are:
A Family Friend is an individual who is considered to be as close as a family member but have no blood ties to the family. Family friends are usually individual(s) who have been around for many years, and may have a substantial amount of information to share about other family members that they are/were close to.

Now that we are clear:
The definition is provided to give you an idea of how important it is to interview Friend's of the family. They may or may not have valuable information that was shared by a family member who didn't feel comfortable sharing it when they were alive.

If you have multiple Family Friends, interview them separately, then together as a group if they been around just as long as the others. Sometimes a Family Friend can help others to jog their memory on certain events.

We provide an extensive interview list for you to ask your Family Friends all the right questions for your GriotBook. This interview checklist can be found in the Family Historian Center and the Authorized Griot Center.

Now, Have fun interviewing your Family's Friends.
