Help Family Celebrations Create a Family Tree Create large pedigree charts of direct lineage and family group sheets. These provide perspective for those who can't remember if it was Aunt Alice or Uncle John who was on great-grandma's side.
Many computer programs have wall-size charts that are great conversation starters.
One way to get that genealogical data on all your cousins is to place butcher block paper along the walls and have the families fill in their information on large family group sheets as they find their spot on the chart. One genealogist I know brings his laptop and printer so he can enter the data on new babies and print out their lineage back to the earliest known ancestor. Bring articles, stories, or books you or others have written on the family. If possible, make several copies to pass around.
