Coloring Story Books for Children

Family history research consumes more of our time now. We want our grandchildren to discover the ennobling characteristics of their Mormon pioneer ancestors. With that goal in mind, I started creating coloring book stories to hand out at our annual family reunions. If the book listed below has a blue boder, it is about Wanless Southwick's ancestors. If it has a red border, it is about Jerrie Lynn Ward's ancestors.

We share these ancestors with thousands of others of their descendants, many of whom gathered parts of the genealogical data used here. Relatives are welcome to use these coloring story books for their own reunions. (You may create links to this website, but please don't put copies of our coloring books on your website.)

You can make your own family history coloring books. See how here.
