Anyway, about four years ago I got interested in looking at the history of my house (200 years old) and my parents (100 years old) and started to get really into it. History can be great fun if it has some relevance to you or can be put into some sort of modern context.

thats exactly what i'm on about,recent history makes it more relavant and fun,if its something the kids enjoy theres far more chance of them taking it onboard,
