Students will do a family three that includes their own family (mother, father, brother(s), sister(s) and any step siblings). They will need all their aunts/uncles and first cousins. They will need all four of their grandparents (no great aunts or uncles) and all 8 of their great grandparents.
Birth dates, death dates and marriage dates are all appreciated.
I fully understand that some of this information may have been lost to time. If you are unable to obtain a name or a date of a grand parent or great grandparent, etc, that is ok. Just do your best to get the most possible.
Again, I fully understand that some families may not be able to fill in all these blanks. :)
In the past, my students have really enjoyed this project because often they do learn something about their family they did not know before.
