Do you and your friends find Family History boring?
That’s hardly surprising!
Endless photographs of graves, reams of Pedigree Charts!
Time to change your approach – AND MAKE IT FUN!
Follow Steve’s advice and maybe your ‘victims’
won’t realise what’s happening!
That is until it’s too late and they are hooked too!
