It's a fact that most people do not have a huge interest in family history in their teens & twenties. However... I have discovered that it never hurts to stimulate an interest on a different path from "research". Getting children interested in photographs isn't hard. My older daughter & I have grown to love scrap booking. I baby sit my 6 year old grandson (my middle daughter's son) and, on many occasions, I am the adult who goes to school functions ---with a camera. I started making scrapbook pages of these events and giving them to him to put in his own book. He now asks me when I will be doing another page for HIS book. The pages could easily be a grouping showing him, his mom, then me --all at age 6! Now that I have his attention, the possibilities are endless. Craft stores now have square frames to fit the 12 x 12 scrapbook page format. I had photos from my older (16 years older) sisters teen years (her dating years) and created a really cute page of those photos to give her (framed) as a gift. Things like that seem to get people interested in old photographs, even if they weren't before. I know it is challenging to add another hobby (scrap booking) to genealogy research, but the 2 hobbies are really so intertwined and I so enjoy them both. But you don't have to be rabid about doing scrapbooks. Just try enough to catch the interest of the younger generations. Kathy Rust Glendale, AZ
