We challenged Tony Miller, a local blogger, to read three genres of books that he doesn't normally like. These are his reviews.

**** Anya's Ghost by Vera Brosgol (2011)

My work colleague, Sang, recommended her favorite graphic novel, Anya's Ghost. The main character, Anya, is a Russian teenager who goes to live in America. Life at school is difficult because she doesn't have many friends. One day Anya meets Emily, a 90-yearold ghost, and everything changes. It explores identity and friendship, two themes that are important to everyone. I was surprised that I liked this novel, since I don't usually like graphic novels.

** Gray Mountain by John Grisham (2014)

 Afriend, Miguel, recommended Gray Mountain, a story about dishonesty in the legal profession and the damage that coal mining does to the environment. It's a revealing portrait of the struggles faced by poor people in small mining communities. It's an entertaining book with lots of suspense. Although the plot is good, this just isn't my type of novel. I'm still not a fan of thrillers.

**** Fahrenheit 451 by Ray Bradbury (1953)

 My neighbor, Katie, knows I'm not interested in sci-fi stories, but she persuaded me to try Fahrenheit 451. It's set in an imagined future where books are illegal. Guy Montag is a government worker responsible for burning all books, but he begins to question the idea that they are dangerous. I loved this novel. It gives us a fascinating glimpse into a strange world where reading is against the law. I thought it was marvelous!

Researching your own family tree can be a fun and fascinating adventure.  With the help of old photos, family members’ stories, and the Internet, you can complete your family tree and learn more about your own history.  Here are the steps that most genealogists take:

·     The first step is to look through photos, letters, and other documents you already have at home.  Marriage and birth certificates will give detailed information, such as maiden names and hometowns. You may come across some old letters from when your grandparents were young or black and white photos of people you don’t even recognize. 

·     Second, talk to your parents, grandparents, aunts, uncles, etc.  Those who are older than you may recognize the people in that black and white photo. They can also answer your questions and give you a fuller picture of your family’s story.

·     Next, take all the information you’ve collected and build a family tree.  Some people prefer to draw their own, but more and more people are using online tools.  Many websites are available to help people with this.  They just have to enter their family’s information, and the website guides them through completing a family tree. 

·     After putting the information online and creating a family tree, make it personal. Visit your great-great grandparents’ hometown, or meet a new relative.  You may decide to write a story or make a special photo album about what you’ve learned.  You can share this information with your children, nieces and nephews so that the next generation can know their family’s history as well.

By following these steps, you’ll be your own family’s genealogist.  You’ll also be able to see how your story fits in to the bigger picture of your family’s history.  Happy researching! What is this article mainly about?
