A New Facet of Genealogy
Want a new facet of genealogy beyond indexing? Close your eyes and think of what comes to mind. Ancestor worship? No, save that for the General Authorities. Conjuring an angel with a drawn sword? No, been there done that.

My children already dress up for Phoenix Comicon as the characters they wish they were. Most of the time dressing up like an ancestors is going to mean dressing up like a poor, subsistence farmer or pioneer. The LDS church already has pioneer trek for the youth so they have that covered.
