Cherishing Your Family Inheritance
Our Third Book Created by You and SCGS

SCGS is doing it again! 

SCGS has for many years encouraged people to write stories about their ancestors. We have encouraged the writing of stories that show the richness and depth of our different cultural experiences. Our last two books The Stars in Your Family and Preserving Your Family Tales have been quite successful. We are pleased to announce that our next book again will follow our Jamboree theme of Cherishing Your Family Inheritance.

What did you inherit from your ancestors? It could be something physical like an heirloom, but it could also be something less tangible, like an attitude, a talent or a mannerism. We’ve seen quick reaction times inherited in some Auto Racing families, like the Andrettis. Two of Archie Manning’s sons, Peyton and Eli are Super Bowl quarterbacks and his grandson Arch (Cooper’s son) is a high school quarterback. Musicality certainly abounded in Bach’s family. What is special to you about your family through the generations?
