About

Ainsworth Favorite Things is a website focused on collecting and sharing the family traditions, stories and history of the Ainsworth family. This is an exclusively limited audience.

Some Background

The Ainsworth family has been spread to various locations across the country and several years ago they realized that they were losing part of their family heritage because they did not have much opportunity to spend time together. The grandchildren did not have the opportunity to learn from their grandparents, aunts and uncles lost touch, and cousins rarely met together. They realized that part of their identity includes their family origins and oral traditions.

The new website will bring together the stories of family experiences, likes and dislikes, funny anecdotes, "things momma told me", and a list of their favorite things, and give them a place for adding future material. Because it is web-based, they can add photos and videos as well as written content. This new medium will generate interest in the project, and the simplicity will increase participation.

Family members will be asked to contribute to the website on a regular basis. However, this is not intended to become the Ainsworth “Facebook”. The proposed plan is to introduce themes and ask for input on various topics, but still allow any of the family members to add additional content as they desire. Inclusion of a family blog has also been considered.
