What Gets Teens into Genealogy?

This weekend youth from the Klein Champions area in Houston chose to get up early on a Saturday morning to do something unusual. After meeting for an early morning breakfast at the home of 16-year Rylan Hair in Spring, youth ranging in ages from 12 to 18 went as a group to the Family History Library at The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints on Klein Road to search out names of ancestors.

“What was cool,” said Hair, “was that the library volunteers taught us how, let us have our own computers, and then let us do the research ourselves.”
