"My 4 year old loves to play with these cards. She loves grouping them by gender or by who was married to who. She now recognizes at least the first name and picture of all 4 grandparents, 8 great grandparents, and even her 8 great-great grandparents on my wife's side of the family!. More amazingly, she can tell stories about most of them too!"
Mitchell - Father of 2
“This game is BRILLIANT! I love the personalization and the variety it offers! The cards can be used for challenging games for adults, as well as simple games for small children, each variation providing a fun new way to learn more about our own ancestors.”
Lori - Grandmother of 17
