Gaming for Genealogy? It Could Happen!

We family history enthusiasts are always lamenting about the fact that younger people seem to have very little interest in family history. It's boring, for old people who have nothing better to do, it's all been done, etc. Well, D. Joshua Taylor, president of the Federation of Genealogical Societies, thinks that gaming may become part of the bridge that will bring youth and others to family history. It's an interesting concept and one that I think just might work! Read the article here! So, what do you think?

I wasn't able to attend the BYU Genealogy and Family History Conference this year, although I did volunteer at the BYU Family History Library booth with the vendors. That is always fun, but I really did miss the classes. I particularly hate to miss the keynote addresses that start off each day! So, I though maybe some of you might want to see what the keynote addresses were all about. Right now, two out of the three addresses have been posted here. Scroll down to the bottom and click on download. Stay tuned for the third address. It will be posted soon.
