Make it a school project or a joint venture with your parents and/or your brothers and sisters. OR do it just for fun! Become the 'Super Sleuth' of your family! Test your investigative skills and find out who and where your ancestors were. Find out how you came to be born in YOUR home town instead of in MY home town.

Do you have ancestors who fought in the War between the States? Did they fight on the side of the North or the South? Were your ancestors on BOTH sides of the conflict? Maybe you have a blockade runner in your family tree.

And what about the Revolutionary War? Were your ancestors Patriots or Tories?

Do you have Indian blood running through your veins? Were your people with William Wallace (Braveheart) in Scotland? with King Richard fighting the Crusades? Maybe one was a pirate, a privateer, a bandit, or a real life hero!

You can learn a lot about these people who are the reason you were born. INTERESTED???
