Family Tree
Your Family Tree...Take Pride In Your Heritage.
Your kids are not an accident. They are apart of a family history. Let them know that what they do, and who they become, will make up the future of your family history.
Children can take pride in the history that they will make, once they have heard where they have come from.
Who is in your family history? Who Are Your Ancestors? Build a heritage for your kids by finding out. Are you from royalty? Did your family overcome hard times? Research your past. Begin by building your family tree. Start with yourself and your parents, then build out from there. Involve your children. Get them to "interview" grandma and grandpa. What family fun! Spend time going through old photos too. When you are asking your relatives about your family past, at some point you will hit a jack-pot of information from the least expected relative! So go slow and steady with this project. Have fun, you and your kids will love to hear all the stories.
By doing this, it will give you a base from which you can easily find any gaps in your knowledge and it will highlight the questions you’ll need to ask your other relatives. Get asking your other family members about their past. This will build bridges with your entire family and your children. By the time you have your next family reunion, or gathering, everyone will want in on the search AND a copy of what you have found out so far! Hint: Save your research and give it as a gift for Christmas and/or Birthdays!
Find your relatives, and share with them your family. Others will be interested in your children too.
