This week we are continuing are family history unit. It was fun to hear the interviews that the students did with their parents. Now it's time to go a little further back and interview grandparents. Hopefully each student can interview two grandparents, but if that is not possible feel free to use an aunt or uncle.The questions are the same as last weeks.
Also, this is optional, you can go to familysearch.org and print up a fan chart of your family. My mom has done quite a bit of genealogy and so has a distant relative in Sweden. It is fun to see how far back my family can be traced. You do have to log into the sight, but this is one of the largest, free, genealogy sights in the world, so there is a lot of information that can be obtained by logging in.
