This weekend’s challenge over at Randy Seaver’s Genea-Musings is to make a Time Capsule!
Instructions:
- Go to the dMarie Time Capsule Website
- Select a date in your family history that you want to know about. You might pick a birth date or wedding date of your parents or grandparents
- Enter the date into the search form, and select the news, songs, toys, books and other things that you want to feature.
- Share the date, why you picked it, and the results of your Time Capsule study on your own blog, in a comment to this post, or in a comment or post on Facebook.
I chose my great great grandfather William Henry Waits birthday on 29 Sep 1845 just because I’d like to have perspective on what the world was like when he came into it!
