Summer of Sleuthing

Last month our ward family history consultant gave me a handout with the following information on it:

Family History Library Sponsors
SUMMER of SLEUTHING

"Are you looking for a fun activity to keep your children occupied this summer?" (my response was, ummm, yeah!)

"Would you like to learn more about your family?" (that would be cool was my thought)

"Do you need a kick start to organize your family records?" (I'm good on that front)

" 'Summer of Sleuthing - Save Our Ancestors' (SOS) is a family summer activities program sponsored by the Family History Library to introduce families to the fun of family history. With a series of weekly challenges, families can participate in activities that will help them learn more about themselves and their ancestors. The program materials are available online at wiki.familysearch.org listed under Activities for Youth."

I have to say this is looks like a very fun program and our family will have our first sleuthing activity tonight at our FHE. I personally love doing family research. I have a sister who is really good at it and she always finds the most difficult information. I love that we share this interest! What I'm super excited about is now involving my kids in the process of searching out our ancestors and getting to know them through the stories and pictures!

Happy Sleuthing to you and your family, Megan
