Make ancestor research a family affair

Family history and ancestor research should be something for the whole family.  It's not just about finding names and dates!  To really make history come alive you also need to experience it.  Things the whole family can do include visits to old homesteads, town sites where your family lived, historic theme parks, and of course cemeteries. And all these visits can then be included in your family history story through pictures and stories from your visit.  And who knows, you may just meet a cousin.
