Your first draft of a family story or memory can be incomplete. Get down what you remember initially without worrying about grammar, getting all the political jurisdictions for a location, and the like. Those details matter, but clarification can take place later. Just write the darn draft in the first place. There are ways to improve this (complete names are another good idea), but it can’t be improved upon if it is not written.
