What do you get a family member who doesn’t really need anything? That’s the question my siblings were wrestling with this year as they anticipated my 50th birthday. They came up with a great idea: Family History!
One sister spearheaded an interactive quiz game using Kahoot! presenting lots of trivia from my life. It was fun to see how many people remembered back that far.
Another sister sent a FamilySearch-themed present on behalf of all my siblings:
It’s your Birthday! Congratulations! You’ve survived a half century!
That’s a BIG deal!
To honor your great accomplishment, and to show how much we love and appreciate all the kind things you’ve done for us over the years as our BIG brother, we’d like to donate 50 hours of family history in your name and honor. We love that you always encourage us to turn our hearts to our fathers. Happy Birthday!
Wow! Thank you!
Then a few days later, I started receiving a series of family stories, which have been shared on the Family Heritage Series website. You can access them via the links below:
