Did you know you made history today; Playing with your grandkids in the driveway or taking photos at the soccer game?
History isn't just digging through a bunch of junk in the garage and trying to understand who is in the picture. You are making history right now.
Did you know by creating a family tree, even if it only starts with you, creates a starting place for today's young people. Building a Family Tree right where YOU ARE will provide the future generations with a sense of identity and connection, preserve family stories and traditions, and create a tangible link to their ancestors' past experiences. It also fosters deeper connections among family members, offers perspective on life, and can reveal fascinating histories and health-related information about their lineage.
Imagine capturing what we are dealing with today in ways that helps future generations feel closer and more understanding of the past, simply because you recorded what was happening in the present.
Did you know right here in Longview there is a Family History Center, staffed with volunteers to help you get started. It's free and FUN.
