Summer Family Weddings

One of the most fun of summer activities is the summer family wedding! Huge groups of extended family all together to celebrate a happy event. What a great way to update the family genealogy, not only on the new addition to the family and his or her ancestry, but also to keep up on the extended family news that you might not have heard about in the annual Christmas card newsletter. You can meet and mingle, as you make known the fact that you are interested in family history. It's good to have a small notebllok along to jot down notes, dates, names and maybe a few e-mail addresses of those you wish to contact. Who knows- you may even meet another "infected" family historian who can;t seem to stay away from the "hobby"! And take plenty of family pictures while you are all together! Who knows how long it will be till the next family event that draws you all to one place again?
