October is Family History MonthIn order to promote the study of genealogy, the Monmouth County Genealogy Society has been promoting the month of October as "Family History Month" for the past 12 years. In addition to proclamations by county and state governments, family history month is marked by several special events put on by our society and by many others across the USA. Schools are encouraged to include family history studies in their curricula.
