New Year’s resolutions often focus on improving ourselves—our health, habits, or homes. But family history enriches our lives in a unique way. Research shows that people who know their family stories feel more resilient, more connected, and more grounded. When we understand where we came from, we walk into the future with greater purpose.

Family is at the center of our celebrations and the focus of our hearts. As we gather, let’s share! What was...

As we reach out this Holiday season we have an opportunity to connect with those around us. We have a chance to reach out to the past as well as we connect with the living around us. 

When news feels unsettling, grounding ourselves in family stories can bring perspective and peace. Our ancestors lived through wars, depressions, and upheavals of their own. Their resilience can steady us now—and our own records will steady future generations.

All in all, September is a great month for family history. Don’t forget to record the fun times with pictures and videos.

Memories come to you for a reason. They remind us of the past and help us build a stronger future. They also are a great time to preserve said memories.

All in all, July is a month of memories. Enjoy the sunshine, the laughter, and the new memories you make when visiting the old ones.

Weddings, emancipation, frontier exploration, and family history can all be rolled in together like a giant cinnamon roll this June. Have fun!

May is a month chuck full of celebration, making it the perfect time to reflect on the importance of family history. From "May the 4th Be With You" to Cinco de Mayo and Memorial Day, each observance connects us to traditions, stories, and values passed down through generations.

Just as Jesus’ resurrection brings the promise of eternal life, our heritage and family stories remind us of the little things that matter. By remembering and honoring our ancestors, we strengthen our personal and familial identity and deepen our appreciation for God’s plan.
