Now to get my son and other grandchildren interested would be great!! We even go to the cemetery where their great grandparents are and she will write down other people's names and dates in a notebook. Both her and her brother (6 yrs old) enjoy doing that.

I also show where they are buried if possible. I regularly try to get in a story and mention distant cousins they don't realize are related.
