Ancestor's Trading Cards

FreeUKGenealogy [@FreeUKGen] shared their following post during #AncestryHour and I love it.
Create a trading card for each of the ancestors with photos and information.

• Great Family activity
• Great way for kids to get to know their ancestors and teach the next generation.
• Great way to involve kids in genealogy and get excited about it

Getting Youth involved

One way to get youth involved could be with your videos. Do you have videos of family events that you would like a backup of and would like to share with other family members? Get the youth to help you.

Ask them to:

• Create a YouTube account for you.
• Upload your videos to YouTube.
• Ask them to help you or show you how to share with family members.
• Ask them to show you how to upload more.
• Ask them to edit videos from past reunions and home videos.
• Ask them to take videos at family reunions and gatherings.
• Ask them to add music to the videos.
• Ask to convert sounds from cassettes to mp3 or mp4

You can also ask them to convert out VHS tapes to digital files to prepare for uploading.
