October 6 - Interest a youngster in family history with old
photos and a family tree chart. Tell a story about an ancestor's life or your
own.
It is difficult to get youngster's interested in family history, but not impossible. I remember when my daughter was reading the Little House on the Prairie books, I looked up the Ingalls family in the census records. I showed my daughter how Laura's little brother was born between census years and if it wasn't for her writing about her brother, we might have never known he ever lived. I started a little spark that day and she seems to be the only one of my children, slightly interested in genealogy.
