[Genealib] genealogy for 6-year-olds

[Laurie Mahaffey]

An item appeared on this list recently called The Family Forest. It was a
generations chart that allowed for step-parents & step-siblings. Anyone else
remember this?

 

Sounds like a fun project for the kids!

Attached is a simple "tree" we use with the young ones in our genealogy
program during Vacation Reading.

I am going to be hosting a Daisy troop for a short session on family
history. I'd like ideas for questions to give them to ask their parents and
grandparents. I'd like to give them just 4 or 5 really good questions that
they will have fun asking and their relatives will enjoy answering. Also,
does anyone have a 3-generation chart made up or know of an online source
for one?

 

I don't want to overwhelm these little girls with a lot of detail or an
assignment that seems like homework, but I hope that they will come up with
something that, when dug out of the back of a closet a few years from now,
will pique their interest into doing more in-depth research.

 

Thanks,
