Family Questing

In the September 2003 issue of Family Fun Magazine there is a very interesting article on questing.

Questing is a sort of public treasure hunt that began in England as “Letterboxing” and is now spreading through the US, all though it really hasn’t hit Nevada yet. Find out more at www.vitalcommunities.org click the Valley Quest link.

I think it would be a lot of fun create and participate in “Family Quests.” For example a quest in Vernal for the Roper family could have a poem that directs participants to various historical (family history) places such as Reynold’s Mill and the Rock Point Cemetery.

We’re all a family

Family History – I Am Doing It – The Friend, July 2003

1. Fam’ly history—I am doing it,
My fam’ly history.
And the love I feel when I’m doing it
Is very sweet to me.
I learn stories of my progenitors;
I write their history.
I keep records of my loved ones
On my own family tree.

2. Fam’ly living now and the ones who’ve died
Can all be sealed to me,
And someday I’ll meet every one of them,
I’m sure as I can be.
Oh what joy we’ll have when they say to me,
“We’re all a family.
I am yours and you are mine now,
Through all eternity.”
