Thinking about memories, particularly family memories, gives one a sense of time passing. It reminds us of continuity and the importance of sharing our past experiences with those close to us. As the editor of the volume Family Memory: Practices, Transmissions and Uses in a Global Perspective Radmila Švaříčková Slabáková puts it, family is the essential memory community. For this reason, she considers family memory to be a research concept with "primordial importance" (Švaříčková Slabáková, Ed., 2021: 2).Families shape our individual and collective identities as our lives are embedded in them. We learn to feel that we belong (Ibid: 1) and (re)construct our sense of belonging by engaging with family stories, whether narrating or listening to them. These stories teach us how to perceive the world around us and significantly impact our historical consciousness. Ultimately, every individual memory or the process of remembering is socially determined (Halbwachs, 2009). Families, in particular, play a significant role as a primary setting where this process takes place. Moreover, family memory is a fluid process, creating and transforming the intertwined individual and collective memories (Švaříčková Slabáková, Ed., 2021: 10).Researchers in memory studies often take a different road and focus on the macroperspective, painting the "bigger picture" (Vrzgulová, G. Lutherová, 2021). According to Švaříčková Slabáková, their reluctance to focus on families originates in "the intermediary position of family memory between the individual remembering and collective remembering, between private and public, between local/transnational" (Švaříčková Slabáková, Ed., 2021: 2). The ambivalence of family memories and remembering makes the research more complicated from the methodological point of view but also more exciting and bids for interdisciplinary analyses. 1 In the monograph Family Memory: Practices, Transmissions and Uses in a Global Perspective, authors from various scientific fields, including history (particularly oral history), literature science, sociology, ethnology, or folklore, explore the micro-perspective of the intimate space of the family. What is the meaning of family memories and remembering? How do we see ourselves in them, and how do we relate to them? How do we construct our relationships with our predecessors and descendants through our memories and narrations of the past? The authors suggest multiple approaches to the plurality of voices in the families and the stories individuals create and pass on to one another.At the core of this research is family identity, intrinsically connected to families' cohesion and intergenerational and intragenerational relationships (Švaříčková Slabáková, Sobotková, Eds., 2018). The fact that several authors in this volume use an autoethnographic approach
