Genealogy Fun While Developing New Genealogists by Sindi Broussard Terrien, Vanessa Wood contributor

If you’re interested in genealogy you know that feeling when you are dying to share a great find but you have not found anyone who shares the interest. Maybe you belong to a genealogical organization that see a lag in membership among the young or flailing new membership. How do you get people interested? Well, Sindi Broussard Terrien has the answer… FUN! Her new book Genealogy Fun While Developing New Genealogists shows more than twenty ways to spur interest among the young and old while having fun. Sindi’s ideas are very creative and adaptable to multiple occasions such as family reunions, classrooms, and genealogy organizations. I was happy to contribute to this project that will bring more people into genealogical research. It is available at Amazon.com.
