One of my favorite family tree creations for kids is this felt family tree. What could be more fun for a toddler than moving around pictures of the people he loves and sticking them to a tree?! What’s even better is that this project requires no sewing. All you need is felt, family pictures, glue, fabric scissors, a way to laminate your photos (even packing tape could work) and about an hour and a half....
ICAPGen Networking Luncheon at the BYU Conference One of my favorite parts of the BYU family history conference is getting to know Accredited Genealogists and professors from the BYU family history department. This year as we attended, we reflected about the difference this conference has made in our lives. Two years ago Diana attended for the fist time and took the ICAPGen classes about becoming an accredited genealogist. She made a friend who then became...
We have been at the BYU Conference on Family History and Genealogy in Provo, Utah this week, learning about records, methodology, and discovery. Here some highlights. Forensic Genealogy, Unclaimed Inheritances, and Missing Persons In a fascinating class by forensic genealogist Michael McCormick, AG, I learned about the real world problems that paid, professional genealogists solve. Certified and accredited genealogists are freqeuently hired by attorneys who need legal problems solved. In fact, Michael pointed out that “forensic”...
Today Diana presented at the BYU Family History and Genealogy Conference about Mind Mapping. Here is a link to view her presentation on google slides: Look at Your Family in a Whole New Way: With a Mind Map Questions from the class: Can you use Google’s MindMup 2.0 with an iPad? I’m not sure. I couldn’t find any mobile apps for MindMup, and their tagline is “free online mind mapping,” so that makes me think...
When my family travels anywhere that has a connection to our past, we do our best to teach our children about their family history. Children can experience family history first hand when they do “field trips” to family sites. Experiencing the places of significance to our ancestors has great potential for being memorable and fun. In the very least, it will be a photo op to help you remember for years to come. Children are...
Have you ever taken a family history trip? Or visited ancestral sites during your vacation? Our family has visited the Dyer Homestead in Colorado, an ancestor’s cabin in Taylor, AZ, Martin’s Cove where the Mormon pioneer handcarts went through, and more. This month’s blog link up theme is Family History Travel with Kids. Join us on July 19 and we’ll all share a blog post about this topic. Here are some post ideas: Tips for visiting family...
Interesting news this month with the discontinuation of microfilm and the articles ta the FamilySearch blog about the new historical LDS missionary database. I’m still using my feedly/google drive system with IFTTT so all the links redirect through IFTTT. Sorry about that! It’s just so much easier for me! Also here’s a link to a video that RootsTech made of an interview with me and Mom (Diana) talking about family history for children. It was...
Today I’m presenting a class for my local genealogy society about sharing family history with a blog. I have learned so much from all the geneabloggers I follow and I consider myself a student of genealogy blogging. I’m no expert, but I certainly love learning more about it. Here are the slides that I created to share. With the recent development of GeneaBloggers transitioning to GeneaBloggersTribe, it seems timely to share. Here is the link to...
For Father’s Day, my kids and I came up with a project to learn about fathers in our family tree and how they are courageous, strong, generous, and kind…like super heroes! We also made a “Super Dad” card that you can draw a picture of dad’s face on (or glue a photo onto it). Here are the printables ! Super Dads In My Family Tree To learn about the wonderful qualities that dads in our...
