Become a Family History Detective
for ages 8 to 12 -- Look for clues in a cemetery, on a computer, in a keepsake suitcase, and keep an evidence folder. Play games your ancestors may have played. Allow about two hours. Earn your Family History Detective badge and certificate if you return with your evidence folder complete.
Outline:
powerpoint
suitcase
computer
graveyard
games
(note: although the sequence can vary, it is easier to do outside activities last than try to calm them down again!)
Pioneer games:
hopscotch
marbles
hula hoop
horseshoes
graveyard:
You don't have to visit an actual cemetery. You can make your own headstones out of cardboard painted grey. Include the clues you want them to find. (what information is available on a headstone...)
Task: Interview a grandparent then return and report. Share what you learned. What do you have in common? what was your favorite part?
Wonderful job. Keep on being a family history detective, we need more on the force. You have just earned your starter kit:
a notebook and pencil to write down hints
a lanyard
a magnifying glass
a badge
and chocolate (to keep you energized)
also give them a certificate with their name on it.

What will your kids remember about you?
It's not easy being a mom...
But it is worth it in the end as this Mother's Day post suggests:
My happiness. Motherhood has grown and stretched me in ways I could have never known. The highlight of my day was my cards received informing me that I make the best macaroni and cheese, that I am so good at wrestling, and that Eli's favorite memory of me is when I taught him how to cross his eyes. Happy Mother's Day to all the women in my life who have inspired me in each of your own ways to continue to strive to be better every day. - Heidi Zuniga
What will your children remember when they think of you? Ask them and write it down! Then attach it to the family tree.

Hover over one of the ID numbers. Click on it. Copy ID appears in blue over the number. Click on the copy ID. Now pull up the other duplicate name. Go to Merge by ID on the right column. (control V) to copy the number into the box. Merge as usual.
