What Is An Ancestor? ~ Kids Answer on FamilySearch

– Posted on 11 September 2012Posted in: Genealogy, Humor

I think our grandchildren know what Genealogy, Family Trees and Ancestors are because of my ’boring’ but often told ancestral family stories. Not all children have captured the meaning of these words yet as shown in this delightful series of videos by FamilySearch. What more can I say? Turn your sound up, sit back and enjoy!

About lineagekeeper

Family history research is a favored avenue of relaxation. It is a Sherlock-like activity that can continue almost anywhere at any time. By leveraging a lifetime involvement in technology, my research efforts have resulted in terabytes of ancestral data, earning me the moniker of Lineagekeeper. And yes - We are all related to Royalty.

Love those videos! The 1950′s one is very clever.

It’s interesting that the kids didn’t know what the word “genealogy” meant but they did know what “family history” was.
