You might be thinking that family history just isn’t for you.
There are many reasons you may feel that way—and I’ve felt many of them myself.
Maybe someone else in your family has already done all the work.
(I promise—there’s no way they’ve done everything!)
Maybe you think it’s boring.
(I was that kid dragged to cemeteries and family history libraries, kicking and screaming!)
Maybe you’re thinking, I have no idea where to start—it just seems so hard!
(It really can feel overwhelming.)
Or maybe you don’t have old journals, family Bibles, or documents to work with.
I’m sure you can come up with plenty of reasons why family history isn’t for you.
But here’s the reality: for every excuse, there’s an even better reason why you can do it.
And even if research isn’t your thing, I promise there’s another way you can be involved. We’ll find a place where family history fits into your life.
Each of us has been given unique gifts and talents. When you discover how your gifts can help you connect with those who came before you, you’ll find real joy in this amazing work—just like I did.
So tell me… what gifts or talents do you have?
