Hi Bill, I am not sure which category I fall into as I am well past 50. I will tell you that I try at every opportunity to generate interest in both my children and every living relative that I still communicate with. I am a school librarian and I encourage my students to ask questions of their parents and grandparents to find out what their childhoods were like. I have a page on my school web site dedicated to kids learning about their genealogy and tying it to history. _http://cfbstaff.cfbisd.edu/baarg/genealogy.htm_ (http://cfbstaff.cfbisd.edu/baarg/genealogy.htm) Making personal connections increases learning and recall. We all know that you can't research your ancestors without learning something about history. Gayle T.
