, the world's largest online family history database with more than 16 billion records, is available to classrooms through an Ancestry grant program. There are two extensive free databases that are available to classrooms using Family Tree Maker. Students will also gain experience searching online databases, reviewing primary historical documents and creating citations for their sources. In addition to exploring their own family histories, students may use Family Tree Maker to chart the dynasty of the pharaohs, make a family tree for the characters in a novel, or track migrations to the New World. Family history can cross a wide variety of classroom content areas from sociology to genetics. Research has proven that students who are more familiar with where they come from and how their history relates to their community are better citizens and more globally prepared.
