Even if you’re not a teacher you can garner some great ancestor story video ideas from PBS Learning Media. Genealogy is a great way to get kids and teens connected to history because of its personal appeal. PBS Learning Media and Genealogy Roadshow teamed up to offer a learning resource page filled with engaging video clips that support research techniques, family history case studies and provide historical context.  Go to http://www.pbslearningmedia.org/collection/genealogy-roadshow/ to see more.

Apply some of the ideas you find in a video you create yourself or with another family member.  Learn how here.
