How to keep kids interested and engaged at the family reunion.
You'll probably have some youngsters on your tour who aren't yet
interested in genealogical pursuits. But a few carefully planned
activities can keep the kids engaged - and perhaps even plant the seed
for the next generation of family history buffs.
• Family treasure: Send young children on a fun and
informative treasure hunt. At each stop, ask them to find a family
history related object, such as a date marker on a schoolhouse or the
initials Grandpa carved in a tree. Award a prize to the child who finds
the most objects by the end of the tour.
