A day to learn about and appreciate one's forebears. Many people are completely unaware of their ancestors and the lives they lived, yet they almost certainly went a long way towards shaping one's habits, traditions and values today. Fortunately, the annually celebrated Ancestor Appreciation Day gives people a reminder to learn more about those who came before them.
Ancestor Appreciation Day can be the ideal time to trace one's family tree and learn more about personal history. Many businesses now cater to this and offer subscriptions and DNA kits to help individuals find out where their origins lie.
