Summer time is family time! Picnics, reunions, graduation ceremonies and Father\u2019s Day\u2014it\u2019s wonderful to have so many occasions to get everyone together. I love these gatherings for their lively conversations, and am always surprised by how many delightful new stories I hear about my family\u2019s history from aunts, uncles, and cousins who I simply don\u2019t get to see enough.<\/p>\n

Learning about your ancestry is fascinating and deeply rewarding. Traditionally, however, it has also required a big commitment of time and energy. It took countless hours doing research in libraries or government offices, filling out endless forms to get copies of documents, or writing letters to distant relatives in the hopes of filling in the blanks.<\/p>\n

Not anymore. Now you can access and share records, photographs, and memories\u2014and even connect with relatives you never knew you had\u2014right from your Android smartphone or iPhone! Downloading the Ancestry<\/a> app links you to birth, marriage, death, census, military and other records, so you can locate important information quickly and easily. There\u2019s even access to passenger lists and border crossing records to help you trace immigrant ancestors.<\/p>\n

The app does require a paid subscription to use. But for a limited time, Consumer Cellular customers who are AARP members are being offered a 30% discount on a one-year \u201cWorld Explorer\u201d level subscription.

Connect to millions of other Ancestry users, ask questions, get ideas, and identify and even contact relatives you discover along the way. Plus with the app\u2019s simple online tools, it\u2019s easy to organize, preserve, and share the information you find, as well as upload and share your own photos or documents to help others.<\/p>\n
