How can I make my family history interesting?
To make a family history more exciting, you need to dig deeper than just names, dates, and places. You need stories. Personal details are what lift a fam
ily history from a mere record of a long-ago person’s descendancy to something that lots of people unrelated to that person will want to read.
But a family history can take many forms, including the following:
A record of your family with you as a child, containing recollections of your parents and other living ancestors. A record of your family with you as a parent, containing recollections of your children and your other descendants.
Remember……it is not a TASK…….it is a trip of great interest and discovery…ENJOY !!!
