Now that I've got extra time on my hands I've become addicted to Family History...It's one of the most exciting things I've EVER done! And I've done some exciting things...Anyway, I had to share this with you guys because there is a great program from the Family History Library has sponsored call "Summer of Sleuthing".
Are you looking for a fun activity to keep your children occupied this summer? Would you like to learn more about your family? Do you need a kick start to organize your family records?
Welcome to the Family History Library’s “Summer of Sleuthing—Save Our Ancestors” (SOS) program. This online summer program will teach you and your family how family history can be fun, informative, and rewarding. With a series of weekly challenges, you and your family can participate in activities that will help you to learn more about yourselves and your ancestors. Take time this summer to discover the roots of your family tree and explore the branches. These activities can give your family a connection to the past, an identity for the present, and a foundation for future success. We encourage you and your family to help each other complete the Summer of Sleuthing challenges. The challenges are tailored for age groups.

The program says, "As part of the challenges, you are encouraged to keep a journal of your experiences and create memories together as a family. You are welcome to share this activity with other families as well.

Oh how fun! I took a family history class in college and loved it. I haven't done anything since. This would be perfect for getting my husband interested.
Thanks for stopping by.

I truly enjoy family history and look forward to having more time when the kids are gone to develop it. Right now I'm intent on capturing OUR family history through the benefit of the blog. It has been such an incredible tool for that. If you blog I would think creating books would be a breeze. You've already done much of your work!
I believe the key to the future is understanding the past. Great post!
