I'd love more ideas.Dallanhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13734397983763829870noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-26204193.post-89221378948178432482017-08-25T08:23:48.450-07:002017-08-25T08:23:48.450-07:00I think just being with each child one-on-one, giv...I think just being with each child one-on-one, giving them special time, while you tell a story or two, will help.

I'm teaching a Boy Scout Genealogy merit badge course here in San Diego next month, and I appreciate any tips that will get young people interested in family history (not to mention my own children!).Stephenhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16020359017572563087noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-26204193.post-58933856611743752972017-08-24T04:05:26.178-07:002017-08-24T04:05:26.178-07:00Great story, Randy.

Oh, I ask, did you know that your great-great uncles played the cornet? They were military bandmasters in Canada during WWI and by the way, here's a photo. Look at those interesting uniforms! Thanks for sharing the idea to show their pedigree on the screen.Marian B. Woodhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03816923876592602598noreply@blogger.com
