Family History Month 2017

It is October again which means pumpkin spice flavored everything and family history month! My mission (and I have decided to accept it) is to post each day this month in honor of the month's celebrations.  Even if you do not have a blog, there is no reason why you couldn't celebrate your family this month too!

Here are a 10 activities you can do over the next 31 days to celebrate your family history:

  • Take a webinar on a topic you know nothing about
  • Call a family member and ask for some stories, preferably ones you have never heard before, and added them to your family tree files
  • Visit a site that holds a connection to your family
  • Write a bio a day about various people in your family tree
  • Gather together family recipies and make a cookbook
  • Start (or finish) that digitization project you thought about
  • The holidays are right around the corner, create a family heritage gift(s) to give away
  • Volunteer at a genealogy center
  • Help with an indexing project
  • Take a virtual road trip (if you can't get out) using Google Maps and Google Earth to see where your family lived, worked, and traveled
