The Southern California Genealogical Society is sponsoring a new program: Kid’s Genealogy Camp. This is for all of you Scouts needing to earn a badge and those of you needing to complete a class assignment. This current program is for 4th through 12th grade.

Dates:
Friday, June 27, 2008

Space is limited, so register early. Please bring a brown bag lunch. Children must be accompanied by an adult

If you plan on attending do your homework before you come. “Start With You”. You are the beginning “branch” on your family tree. Start with you and the information that is known and work toward the unknown. Find out as much as you can about your parents, grandparents, and great-grandparents. Obtain a Pedigree Chart and a Family Group Sheet and write it down. Be sure to identify the source of the information.
This is very important.

The following forms are needed to bring with you to the first class: Pedigree chart, Family Group sheet, and Registration form.

Pedigree chart – the pedigree chart is a road map for your genealogical research. Please fill out the chart with as much information as you can find before the Kid’s Genealogy Camp class and bring it with you.

Here is an idea of how to fill out a Pedigree chart with Walt Disney’s pedigree chart.

Family Group Sheet – allows you to see every member in each family. Please fill out the chart with as much information as you can find before the Kid’s Genealogy Camp class and bring it with you.

U.S. Timeline – please access this link at The World Almanac for Kids to see where your family fits in American History and bring it with you to the Kid’s Genealogy Camp class.
