Teaching Kids Genealogy
Now when you are doing your parents charts, do the same thing. Tell your kids stories about growing up. This sounds really corny, but it will be a good bonding experience. They are your legacy; you will live forever through them. Shouldn’t more than just your DNA be immortalized? Tell them stories about your parents and grandparents when you were growing up. They may realize they don’t have it as bad as they think.
Once you get all this information, you may consider taking a trip to the library. Most public libraries have a genealogy department where you can research your family names. If nothing else you can teach your kids all about the library and how it works and what to do there.
Another good place to do some research is ancestry.com. This website is one of the most popular tools for researching your family history.
