Family History Month
October is Family History Month
In 2001, Congress passed a resolution, introduced by Sen. Orrin Hatch of Utah, to observe Family History Month annually in October. Here are 7 things you can do to mark the month:
- Plan a family get-together during the upcoming holiday season
- Learn something new about the year you were born
- Have your children interview a favorite relative
- Reach out to a distant cousin
- Organize your family photos
- Set aside a full day to focus on genealogy research
- Visit a library or archive to make new genealogy discoveries
