Genealogy Sites for Young People
Every family has a story--in fact, many stories. The magic lies in discovering them.
There are many web sites to guide children through the process of discovering family history.
Of course, the most interesting and rewarding type of research is through primary sources—interviews with living relatives. Many children are amazed at the wealth of stories that emerge when they take time to sit with older relatives and ask the right questions. A tape recorder is helpful, but note taking is also an effective way to preserve their stories.
