Family Tree History Quiz to Interview Kids

Family tree history and stories are important to write down and save.  Telling the stories of the people in your family tree will bring it to life. It is not always easy to get kids involved in family history projects. Quizzes are a fun, easy way for kids to share their personality and feelings. The questions help kids share how they feel about a variety of subjects. You won't just come away with some statistics. Instead, you'll gain a view of the real, three dimensional person you know and love.

Help kids tell you about themselves and what matters to them. The answers capture how your child sees the world at a certain age. (And they are great to use for kids of any age.) They will enjoy reading what they wrote now, but it will mean much more to them, and you, as the years pass.
