Seeing Our “Old Folks” as Babies

A fun way to engage a younger family member in genealogy is to show that those ancient ancestors were once babies and kids.  Animoto makes it really easy to create a quick video photo montage with music and titles, like the one I posted here.  I admit I had way too much fun finding music and just watching the photos come together! I first encountered Animoto as an educator when I saw teachers engaging students with music and powerful images.  You can do a free trial and if you use this link to subscribe you can get one month for free.
