HISTORY AND FAMILY HUNTERS CLUB
This week they talked about the importance of gathering information about the history of ancestors and understanding where you come from. Learning family history helps people see patterns, traditions, and strengths that have been passed down through generations—and it can help us better understand ourselves and our future.
