The Family History Guide Activities Section contains a myriad of ideas to make family history moments and preserve them to enjoy again and again! Consider selecting activities for your family that provide a look into the past (and a lot of laughter in the present) such as the idea to recreate childhood photos. There is something magical about remembering ourselves as we once were.  According to Angie Lucas ih her blog post Journey to the Past, recreating childhood photos is a fun way to celebrate October as “Family History Month,” or anytime!

One family dug up a few childhood photos and recreated them by posing in the same scenario (photos used with permission). What fun!

Angie also shares the idea to “…photograph your children standing in front of the same landmarks, mimicking the original photos.” She suggests the idea to post your “now and later” photo pairs on social media with hashtags #familystories or #familyhistory, or to include them as a story on your FamilySearch profile.
