Your mission Mom, should you choose to accept it...

Welcome to my first ever post to my first ever blog!

Here on Mission Impossible - Making Genealogy Fun For My Teen Blog, I will be sharing my year-long journey to help my 8th grade son complete his family heritage album.  Not only complete it, but actually enjoy it.  (OK, if not enjoy it, at least not detest it.)  I already went through this process with my older son two years ago.  That ended up being a year of a whole lot of nagging with a final product basically full of names, dates and places, but not much else.  Hindsight being 20/20, this time around I want to find ways to engage my son by making his ancestors come alive and become interesting people to get to know.  It will take some work, but I choose to accept the mission!
