Product Description

Who are my ancestors? What nationalities were they? What work did they do? Kids are always bursting with questions about their family history; they want more stories, more details, more facts. With these research ideas and creative projects, young would-be genealogists can get the knowledge they crave. Find out how to interview family members, dig up information from libraries and the Internet, and check the National Archives for passenger lists of newly-arrived immigrants. Uncover clues in old photos or birth, marriage, and death records. Preserve the knowledge you’ve gathered in a crayon batik family tree or a homemade diary that features favorite family stories, recipes, and traditions. Keep the togetherness going by planning a family reunion, starting a family newsletter, and more.

Finally, a family educational project with whimsy5
The Kids' Family Tree book is filled with delightful projects for elementary grade children who are interested in learning about their family history. This book offers a refreshing take on Geneology, for both parents and children alike. My fourth grader and I especially loved creating the coat of arms. With its whimsical spin and bright pictures, Leavitt's book is also a thoughtful birthday gift for any grade level student. Highly recommended to add to the emergency birthday-present pile!

genealogy for kids5
This is a wonderful book to help children understand their family history. I use genealogy to teach social studies methods at a university, and this would help my students too. It's easy to understand, but comprehensive. Great book!

Good overall4
I bought several copies of this book to give out as gifts at a recent family reunion. There were some good ideas in the book. I particularly liked the ideas of how to display a family tree in different wasy besides always a tree shape.
