While many of us don’t know much about our ancestors or the lives they led, they most likely had a significant impact on shaping our values, beliefs, and habits today. Ancestor Appreciation day is an annual celebration that reminds people to remember those who have gone before them.

When researching your genealogy, the internet can be an invaluable tool. There are many online resources that will allow you to locate records of your family history, learn more about your ancestors’ lives and create a detailed family tree.

A better picture of your relatives can help you to appreciate life more and give you a better idea of each member of your family’s journey.

Spend the day with your relatives living today, if nothing else. Ask questions, listen to their stories, and learn about the past generations.
