Kids and Family History is a book for adults, but is filled with ideas for engaging children in family genealogy and history. We send our children to school to learn. As people of faith we take our children to church or synagogue. Why should our passion for family history be any different? Kids and Family History was written with kids in mind, but the goal is to give adults ideas for fun ways to introduce genealogy and family history to the next generation of family historians. You will find lots of ideas for games, crafts, projects and activities for children from pre-school to high school. This easy-to-read, how-to-guide has detailed instructions for the ideas within. Don't leave it to chance. Plan today to acquaint your child with an important topic that too often is overlooked because we think our children are just not ready. You can do this!

Unlike some other reproductions of classic texts (1) We have not used OCR(Optical Character Recognition), as this leads to bad quality books with introduced typos. (2) In books where there are images such as portraits, maps, sketches etc We have endeavoured to keep the quality of these images, so they represent accurately the original artefact. Although occasionally there may be certain imperfections with these old texts, we feel they deserve to be made available for future generations to enjoy.

This guide will show you how to create an entertaining and educational game about your own special family.
