Mt Jordan 4th ward Family History Class Notes and Tip Sheets 

Today in class we talked about the importance of being the link between generations.  Our children and grandchildren may never know their ancestors unless we tell them the stories.  One way to engage the younger generation is through video.  

I showed two videos I made for Father's Day, and let the class decide which one they liked best.  I encourage you to try it out using whatever software you like.  I used Adobe Spark and Animoto which both offer free trial memberships.  

Another way to reach the younger generation is to tell stories.  Tell stories of what it was like when you were growing up.  Telling how you overcame trials and difficulties will help them to know that they too can overcome their struggles.  

An article on Family Search explains that knowing family stories builds resilience in kids.  Check out the article by clicking on the link below.

We talked about MyHeritage.com today.  I hope you will take the opportunity this week to sign up for your partner account through Family Search.  I have included a link to an article that gives tips on using My Heritage.  If you are not LDS, you can sign up by going to Myheritage.com

And finally, this video is my way of thanking all the Dads out there, and the men who step in to fill those shoes when needed.
