Roadtrip through the San Rafael Swell | The Wedge (Little Grand Canyon) ...
Growing up on a farm my family didn't travel much. As an adult, I have realized that some of the places we did go which weren't very far away were some amazingly beautiful places. I still haven't seen all the places in the San Rafael Swell. Seeing videos like this brings back some memories and gives me a chance to see places I haven't seen yet. You may want to share videos with your family or friends of places you have been too. Share photos that you have of places you have been. Write about your experiences in traveling there.
Loa Utah Travel Video
Another way to learn more about your grandparents or other ancestors is to look up videos of places they lived. My grandmother was born in Loa, Utah. Searching for videos I found the above video about Loa, Utah. I didn't realize it was close to the Capitol Reef National Park. The area is beautiful. It is fun and interesting to see where she was born. Look up photos or videos of the places your family members were born or lived. It can help you get to know your ancestors even better.
Consider making a family tree using a photo of an area your ancestors lived in. The following family tree mouse pad has a photo of the area my parents grew up in and that I grew up in. The mouse pad is set up with templates that can be personalized with your own photos.
Create a family tree poster with a photo of a significant place in your family's history. This photo is significant in my husband's family history since his maternal grandmother experienced the 1906 San Francisco earthquake when she was living in Oakland. Below is a video filmed in 1906 in San Francisco.
Following is a video of the destruction from the earthquake.
Add to your story or your family's story with information about places traveled to and lived in.
