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
