Make it a family project to clean, weed, and replace old headstones of ancestors.<\/p>\n<p>27. Take a trip to your ancestral country to do research or just look around and take pictures.<\/p>\n<p>28. Spend an evening with your children and\/or parents and share family and ancestral stories.\u00a0 Have someone act as scribe to record stories and have someone else\u00a0videotape them.<\/p>\n<p>29. Discover the origin of your family surnames. Find out what they mean, if you have a coat of arms or an ancestral home.<\/p>\n<p>30. Use Google to search your surnames, locations, or family websites.<\/p>\n<p>31. Check<a href=\"https:\/\/www.familysearch.org\/catalog\/search\"> the catalog<\/a> at the Family History Library. Search your surnames or locations where your family lived. See what&#8217;s available online, order films to arrive at the nearest Family History Center near you, or visit the library personally.<\/p>\n<p>32. Research discrepancies in your pedigree. (Everyone has mistakes that have been made, or children who have been forgotten.)<\/p>\n<p>33. Collect <a href=\"http:\/\/www.cdc.gov\/nchs\/w2w.htm\">vital records<\/a>\u00a0for as many ancestors as you can.<\/p>\n<p>34. Write your life history and give it away as a Christmas present.<\/p>\n<p>35. Write down your memories of your parents and grandparents for your children.<\/p>\n<p>36. Create a pedigree chart of your direct line, laminate it and give it to the Family History Library.<\/p>\n<p>37. Create a web page of your family lines.<\/p>\n<p>38. Make a decorative family tree or fan chart to display on the wall and\/or give as gifts.<\/p>\n<p>39.\u00a0Verify the sources for all the information you find about your ancestors. Attach these sources onto your family tree.<\/p>\n<p>40. Use the <a href=\"https:\/\/www.familysearch.org\/ask\/learningViewer\/480\">descendency chart<\/a> to find forgotten cousins who still need their work done. <a href=\"https:\/\/www.lds.org\/callings\/temple-and-family-history\/family-history-consultants\/easy-steps-to-descendancy?lang=eng\">Here&#8217;s how.<\/a><\/p>\n<p>41. Organize, and be familiar with, what information you do have about your family.<\/p>\n<p>42.\u00a0Use <a href=\"https:\/\/rootsmapper.com\/\">Rootsmapper.com<\/a> to trace your ancestral family&#8217;s journey to where you live today.<\/p>\n<p>43. Collect (by asking relatives) conversion stories, and share them with your children. Bind them in a book. Use them in Church lessons, FHE lessons, anecdotes, teaching moments, etc.<\/p>\n<p>44. Create a wall of family and ancestor pictures in your home.<\/p>\n<p>45. Collect books that have been published by and about your ancestors.<\/p>\n<p>46. Seek to have spiritual experiences in doing your family history. Record them, along with your testimony, and share them with your family.<\/p>\n<p>47. Start a family newsletter.<\/p>\n<p>48. Get to know your ancestors just by reading their pedigrees and histories.\u00a0Imagine what it was like to live in their day.<\/p>\n<p>49.\u00a0Ask older relatives to identify people in pictures and gather everyone&#8217;s family pictures and make sure everyone has copies of those identified.<\/p>\n<p>50. Collect patriarchal blessings of your ancestors. \u00a0Talk about them in FHE. Search for blessings given to a great-grand relative that may be fulfilled in you or your child. Or find traits and talents that follow through the generations.<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>Both my parents were born in foreign countries.\u00a0 Thankfully, I have been blessed to be able to visit their childhood homes and see for myself what life might have been like for them growing up.\u00a0 My mother was born in France. We visited with the older sister she left behind so many years ago and had a wonderful reunion with several family members.\u00a0 The picture above is of my mother working on her family&#8217;s farm. My father was born in Mexico. We spent many a summer visiting with his family when I was growing up. Even though I couldn\u2019t speak the same language as my cousins, from either side of the world, we learned that &#8220;Barbie doll&#8221; is a language shared by all.<\/p>\n<p>I wrote my grandmother&#8217;s history and submitted it to <a href=\"https:\/\/deseretbook.com\/p\/women-of-faith-in-the-latter-days-v4?variant_id=150943-hardcover\">Women of Faith in the Latter-Days.<\/a> It will be published in their fourth volume.
