The following teaser is from an article posted in the April 9, 2104 edition of Deseret News.
With baseball season in full swing, FamilySearch.org has launched a campaign to encourage family historians to preserve and share photos and stories of ancestors who had an interest in America’s favorite pastime.
“I associate baseball with family,” FamilySearch collection manager Jeff Svare told the Deseret News. “Baseball is a great family activity.” He hopes that others’ enthusiasm for the sport will transform into a desire to seek out ancestors who loved the game as well.
FamilySearch has plenty of interesting artifacts available for baseball fanatics, including public documents such as birth and death records, census information and World War II draft registration cards for some of baseball’s biggest names.
