Hey kids! Have you heard the terms genealogy, family history and social history but are not quite sure what they mean? No so sure any of that can be exciting because isn’t history “boring”? I hope to show you that it can be exciting and fun.
Genealogy is defined as a study of the family. It identifies ancestors and their information.
Family history is defined as the research of past events relating to a family or families, written in a narrative form.
Social history is defined as the study of the everyday lives of ordinary people.
What does all this mean?
It means that you and your ancestors have stories that should be told. How they should be told is up to you. Are you crafty? Could you make a photo collage or scrapbook? Do you like to write? Could you write a short story about one of your ancestors? Do you draw? Could you sketch out a family tree?
Stop by soon for ways to tell your family’s stories.
