Counting Down to Celebrate Family!

September 9, 2013 by Montserrat {Cranial Hiccups} 3 Comments

Sunday is the start of this year’s Family Proclamation Celebration!! Have you liked our facebook page yet? Are you gathering and scanning a few ancestor photos for Instagram Great Gram Day which is on Sunday? Did you know you DO NOT have to have an Instagram account to participate? I am not on instagram so please don’t feel left out! We want you to share your ancestor photos on whatever social media outlet you can.

What do I do on September 15? Post your ancestor’s picture onto Facebook, Twitter, Instagram or on your blog.

In your status, caption, or tweet, include with the picture:

– The person’s name

– How you’re related

– A brief blurb on their life if you know it

– This link: www.familysearch.org/photos/

– And a fun little hash tag like #IGGday, #grateful, #Ancestor, or #FamilySearch

For example, I might share this pic and status-

Florence and Charles Gibbs (Peter's Grandparents)

My great-grandparents Florence Emma Ashton and Charles Worthen Gibbs in typical 1920s fashion. www.familysearch.org/photos/  #IGGday #grateful #Ancestor #FamilySearch

 See how easy it is? Get scanning those photos!

    I don’t have a blog, but I have been compiling a list of books for children and young adults that portray happy family life. I think that reading about healthy families will help our own children grow up with an even stronger image of what good strong families should look like. I’d be happy to send it to you if you thought that it would add to your family celebration. I have enjoyed participating the last couple of years! Thanks for all you do!
