How much of your family history do you know? Are you sure? It’s important to pass stories of our ancestors down so they don’t get lost. So that our children have an identity that spans more than just their own lifetime.

Are these people from the past just photos of distant relatives? Or do they mean something?

Perhaps it’s easy for parents to assume their children know things about them or their ancestors. But if these stories aren’t passed down, how would the children know?

It was an abandoned house sitting in the middle of a crop field that opened the door for Robert Falkenberg to discover a whole host of information he never knew.

Join Robert Falkenberg as he discusses what he learned about his own heritage after taking a ride out west with his parents. Then consider your own genealogy and history. What do you know? What do you want to know? Find someone and ask them.
