Family History Activities

Activities this month from the Sandy Utah Willow Creek Stake of the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-Day Saints involves visiting family members and non-relatives to glean stories about your family and theirs.

  • Go visit an older living family member and have them tell you stories of their life. Record them telling the stories, then afterward type the stories up and give them to family members.
  • Go visit a shut-in person or someone in a rest home who is not a relative. Take a treat to them. Have them talk about their life and tell you stories. Write down one of the stories that they told you and give the transcript to them to have for their personal history.
  • Go visit an older relative for an afternoon; take them for a ride to visit somewhere significant to them. Bring a treat. Have them tell stories. Write those stories down. Have them show you their pictures.
