My latest find is My Family Tree Workbook by Rosemary A. Chorzempa. Starting with simple fill-in forms about themselves, to guidance on writing letters and where to look for more information, I am sure that this format will give my kids something to work on.  I specifically enjoyed that the format is easy to follow and the terms are easy enough to understand without having to explain to them every page in great detail.  I see this as a long term project, but as I know, genealogy is not a project that can be done over a weekend.
