Do you have a child interested in family history? Would you like to encourage a child in your family to explore his or her heritage? You can help nurture the budding family historian in your family at this year's East Tennessee Historical Society History Camp. The camp will be held July 8-11, 2002, at the East Tennessee History Center in downtown Knoxville. At the camp, kids will enjoy learning methods to research their family tree, such as talking to older relatives, using original records, visiting cemeteries and libraries, and touring history museums. Each child participant is invited to bring along an adult family member to help them “dig their roots.” The ETHS Family Tree Camp provides families with an activity they can do together not just during the camp, but for years to come. Part of the fun of genealogy is the interaction between generations as young people interview older relatives and hear the stories and events that have become part of a family’s history. Help us plant the seeds of historic interest in tomorrow's generation. For more information about this year's camp and how you and a child in your family can participate together, visit the ETHS web site at www.east-tennessee-history.org Sincerely, Shane Rhyne East Tennessee Historical Society www.east-tennessee-history.org
