I found a great resource for kids and parents working on family history. The Library of Congress has a Teacher’s Resource Section.
The site has activities for students, discusses the use of source materials and has numerous photographs and interviews.
Take a peek. You may be able to use something for a school project or to help with your family history research!
On Tuesday, I interviewed Luke. Then he decided he should interview me. Here is how the interview went.
Q: Who is your favorite music singer?
A: I love the group Rascall Flatts. They are my favorite right now.
Q: What is your favorite sport?
A: I grew up not caring or being interested in sports. But since every boy in this house is all about sports, I would have to say hockey is my favorite sport.

A: Nope. Don’t like either.
Q: What is your favorite drink?
A: Coffee. I could not live without coffee. Love it! Love it! Love it!

A: Home Run Inn Pizza is my favorite.
Q: What do you like to do in the spring and summer?
A: I like to hang out at the pool during the summer. In the spring I like to get up early, sit outside and drink my coffee and listen to the birds sing. I also like to sit outside and read a book while you play.
Q: What do you like to do down by the cul-de-sac? Read your books and have coffee?

Looking for another great book for kids about family history? Check out Grandpa Baxter and the Photographs by Caroline Castle and Peter Bowman.
Grandpa Baxter and grandson Benjamin are fuzzy bears. They are looking through a closet under the stairs one day and discover an old rusty tin of photographs. Together they spend the day looking at the photographs and talking about the family and their history. The little bear Benjamin learns a lot about his genealogy and has a special day with his grandpa.
This is a great story for grandparents to read with their grandchildren and create new memories.
