Built by a grandmother. — Granny, Operation Granny Files

What's inside Unit 1

A "Who Am I?" conversation that surfaces what your child already knows about your family — the warm, no-wrong-answers way every genealogist actually starts.
The first real lesson of family history: every family has stories worth keeping, and "I don't know yet" is exactly the right place to begin.
A fill-in worksheet your child finishes in a single sitting — no prep, no teacher's manual, no software.

And here's the rest

Unit 1 is free and yours to keep. The full workbook continues with five more detective units:

2 Interview a Relative
3 The Family Document Hunt
4 Draw Your Family Tree
5 Keep a Research Notebook
6 Reading the Census

Meet Granny

Operation Granny Files is the slow, faithful work of a grandmother who wanted her grandchildren — and yours — to know the people whose love is still doing work in your home today. Unit 1 is where that begins.

Questions parents ask

What ages is this for?: Built for ages 7–12. Younger siblings listen along; older kids dig deeper into the interview prompts and the family-tree work.
How do I get it after signing up?: You'll get an email within a few minutes with a download link to the Unit 1 PDF. (Check your spam folder if you don't see it — first-time senders sometimes land there.)
Is this religion-specific?: No. Unit 1 is about family heritage, not theology. It works for any family that wants their children to know where they came from.
