I love the fourth of July. I usually get a paid day off work, I can generally get some good BBQ and I get to spend some time telling the rest of the family about our genealogy. They range from excited to just polite listeners. I hope sometime to get someone interested enough to come help in the research.

If you get the chance to be around family today, try to take some pictures or video. There are so many great ways to share digital media today that you can send them to family that couldn’t be there. Its also a great chance to interview family members and try to get details about your ancestors.

How do you spend the Fourth of July?
