Creating Junior Genealogists, by Karen Frisch; 120 pg; Paperback; ISBN 1-593310-29-3; Item TP293
When family historians discover the value of their heritage, they naturally want to share it with their children and grandchildren. In Creating Junior Genealogists, the author offers ideas to help family historians infuse the next generation with an appreciation of their heritage, including how to use family activities, visits to historical sites and museums, scrapbooks, heirlooms—and much more—to captivate and create lasting memories for children. Author Karen Frisch offers numerous suggestions that range from watching historical videos together to creating a family scrapbook. You’ll learn how to teach your children basic genealogical tasks such as starting a family tree, exploring cemeteries for names and dates, and finding records on the Internet.
