Activity 27: "Family Trees"

In the last Activity you have used a family tree diagram in order to organise and display information about the family and relations of Alexander 'Greek' Thomson.

You can do the same for your own family.

This involves finding out what you can about your family and also deciding what type and amount of information you might wish to put in.

For example, you might wish to put in special dates like births and marriages and other information like maiden names.

e.g.


To do this you will need to do some research with your own family and draw up a family tree showing what you can find out about your ancestors and relations.

You will need to do a rough drawing first so that you can see what you can get on the page and what will go where.

If you do the final version on a big piece of A3 or A2 paper you can mount it on your bedroom wall and update it if there are any changes e.g. new babies.
