When is National Roots Day?

Saturday December 23rd

Families are encouraged to investigate their family roots, heritage, and ancestry on December 23rd.

Each year during the holidays is a great time to gather family information. While families gather around the table sharing stories and memories, someone is certain to be the family historian. It is entirely likely that a grandparent, parent, aunt, or uncle has already established a family tree and will share it with other family members.

When is National Day of Listening? Organize photos – and get them organized before memories fade. After a decade or two, names, places, and dates become fuzzy. Every generation is involved in the struggle to involve every generation.. Share challenges and triumphs. Share struggles and triumphs. Document stories from one generation to another. Each generation's efforts, travels, failures, and triumphs are compiled in this series. They help us to be who we are today, but they don't help us to be who we are today.

It is often interesting to learn about our ancestors' lives; where they came from, their struggles, and their accomplishments. It's a blend of everyone on the family tree that helps to make the person we are today.
