Genealogy Merit Badge

Hi from Marcus!  I signed up to do this merit badge as a class at a local genealogy library.  There were a bunch of pre-requisites and then the rest we did in class.
I learned about some of my ancestors.  I interviewed my Grandmother.  I learned that she got hit by a car when she was a kid and had her front teeth knocked out.  I also wrote an autobiography about myself.
What  I liked best about this merit badge was being able to learn about my ancestors.  This merit badge took several hours at home for doing my autobiography, the pedigree charts and the interview.  The class was a lot of fun and I brought two friends with me who also earned the merit badge that day!
Notes from the mom:
This merit badge was a lot of book work and writing.  It was time consuming to write everything out by hand, but the great thing is Marcus will always have this information and it's in his own handwriting.  He worked on it with two friends, and on the day of the class they all went and earned this merit badge.  It was an excellent experience.  Cost: time.
