These are all words that one will come across when tracing back their relations to create a family tree.
This study of information is your genealogy.
Why is making a family tree with your children important?
In 2010 Emory University undertook a study asking children questions about their families history.
This is one generation.
The next would be all your parents and aunts, uncles and so forth.
The addition of great- is:a way of describing a generation further back then your own grandparents.
Every further generation you add one great.
So if you are talking about three generations before your own grandparents you would say, great-great-great.
Making Your Own Family Tree!
The main thing is not to complicate it.
Keep the craft side of it simple, the importance is the topic.
We made a small family tree up to the childrens Great-Grandparents.
On a large sheet of paper we made a tree out of brown tissue paper.
We talked about family relationships and words like, siblings and aunts and uncles and who theirs were.
Another aspect of our conversations touched on immigration, language and culture.
So get together and start this extremely rewarding family detective project.
It is one that will just keep giving and one you all will cherish forever.
