Normally, a family get together takes place around the holidays. But thanks to the COVID-19, an extended time with relatives has resulted. Plus you might have been hearing from folks that you hadn’t seen or heard from since you were a kid at your granny’s annual 4th of July celebration.
Instead of trying to explain to your children how your spouse’s great grandfather was related to Teddy Roosevelt, why not use the family who’s-who questions as a project? All it takes is a piece of paper, a pen/pencil and a few calls to family members to create your family tree.
And if you want to go the extra mile, there are some free services like FamilySearch.com and The USGenWeb Project to help you along. But then if you want to splurge, sign up for the Ancestry.com team to help you discover all types of connections that even the oldest member of your family might not know. It even offers a DNA program that will provide all types of insight in your origins.
Who knows? You just might have a royal title hanging in your tree?
