Hall family. Members of the Midvale East 6th Ward, Midvale Utah East Stake, the llalls wanted to capture the intrigue of tracing their family tree by composing a game which could b played by children as well ns adults. t he prime component of the game consists of a set of 112 ancestor cards.

Since action in the game involves moving from space to space on the board in order to purchase the ancestor cards with hours (rather than money), the players have an opportunity to regardparticipate in decision-makin- g ing the difficult search for ancestral lines. Each of the five children in tbs Halt family have helped collate the games six different types of cards, rules, dice, movers and board. The family hopes to spread their genealogical spirit to others by displaying their game at various events, encouraging others to play it with the hope that the game will motivate others to learn more of their own heritage through gaining knowledge of the lives of their ancestors.
