"We must teach our youth to draw close to the elderly grandpas and grandmas... "Value the old folks for what they are, not just what they can do... "We live now in troubled times. In the lifetime of our youth, the troubles will never be less and will certainly be more. Old folks offer a sure knowledge that things can be endured... "You may at last, when old and feeble, learn that the greatest mission of all is to strengthen your own family and the families of others, to seal the generations." - President Boyd K. Packer, "The Golden Years," General Conference, April, 2003 https://www.churchofjesuschrist.org/study/general-conference/2003/04/the-golden-years?lang=eng Painting by Gaetano Bellei

If you cannot get rid of the family skeleton, you may as well make it dance.

Just wanted to share some links.   I found this site with workable PDF genealogical forms that you can input your information on and print out.  Very cool to keep a hard copy of all your researched tree.

Check these out!

Family Group Record:   http://www.misbach.org/download/FamilyGroupRecord.pdf

Pedigree Chart: http://www.misbach.org/download/pedigree_chart.pdf

They have other forms and charts there that are easily downloaded for printed.  Not all forms are editable but they are free to download and fill out by hand.

Thanks to MISBACH Enterprises for making these available!

Fascinating psychological background on WHY keeping a family history is so important to our families well being.   I going to be doing a Youtube video on this.

I don’t know what this was that needed to be secured with all the bolts and chains. But the sticker is great advice.  Can I suggest an add-on?   Don’t just live a great story, be sure you tell it to others for them to enjoy too.
