Fun Family History Activities for Kids and Youth

I just got sent a really fun link about a family history program for kids this summer. There are cool projects on this page for children and youth of all ages to get excited about their family history. These would be great activities for after church on Sunday or another day.

While we're on the family history subject, Brandon and I have been trying to get back into doing some family history lately. We've been scanning a lot of Brandon's Grandmother's old family photos. We planning on sharing those photo scans with any family member that is interested. It's been a really fun project. I think it's very important to preserve these pictures for our children and our children's children so that they can get to know their ancestors a little better. If you're interested in learning more about preserving your family photos, here's a few great sites:
