Olive Tree Connects Genealogy with History
I’m making slow progress in the Genea-Blogger Group Games being held among the Facebook Genea-Blogger Group members but I did manage to join 2 blog networks through the Facebook Blog Networks application.
They are Renee’s Genealogy Blog and Olive Tree Genealogy. Both have tons of new information.
I was particularly inspired to leave a comment for Olive Tree’s post entitled Connecting Genealogy with History. I was reminded of how I always enjoyed history class so much more because I would try to imagine how my then unknown ancestors were involved in the events we were studying. Surely someone in my family fought against the British during the American Revolution. And how many of my ancestors were wounded or died during the Civil War? or the War of Northern Aggression? Now that I can put names and stories to those unknown ancestors my daughter can actually tell her classmates and teachers exactly how her ancestors participated in different aspects of American history. I think it makes her feel special.
So as of tonight, I have completed the first 2 requirements for event number 5: Reach Out & Perform Genealogical Acts of Kindness.
