Family History

In order to understand the present and look to the future, we must understand our past. How many of us know much about our family's history?  Many people are searching for their ancestors by researching their past. 

Start out by making a simple family tree. Make sure you include your children in this activity. Go as far as you can on your own. There will be a sense of purpose and excitement every time you find another piece of the puzzle.  Contact other family members to fill in what they know. Post information on your blog,  face book,or research family on line. It will take on a life of its own and you can find family members you never knew existed. There are Web sites you can join that will help with the search. My family recently found family members just last year. It was truly exciting! We made arrangements to meet and talk and share our history. We are forever connected together.  So, develop a sense of family history and find out some very interesting fact. It can be life changing.
