The Family History Road Trip!

 This week it's all about those family history road trips. Summer is the perfect time to get out on the open
road and take in those specials places that can bring insight to your family history stories.

Family history road trips come in all shapes and sizes.Your road trip might be a tour of a cemetery or an afternoon at the local archives. Maybe you spent a weekend touring an ancestral hometown or you took a summer vacation and explored the country of your ancestors.

Regardless of the size of your trip,  family history excursions can be incredible opportunities to advance your research and gather family history stories. A road can rejuvenate both the body and the mind.

Today begins week 2 in our Out of My Armchair Summer Adventure Contest. This week, we encourage you to share a picture of a past family history road trip. Post your photo on our Facebook Page and you could win a 1-year subscription to FindMyPast.com.  You have until Sunday midnight to upload your favourite photo. Fill free to share a few words about your photo. At the end of the week,  one lucky person will be chosen through a random draw.

Today we will announce our Week 1 winner! Stay tuned.
