2. Your family tree is defined as all of
the ancestors and descendants in a
family, or is defined as a visual
diagram showing who those people
are. A diagram showing the names
and relationships of all of your
ancestors and relatives is an example
of your family tree.

where my ancestors were from.
4. There are a number of ways you can record the interviews;
cellphone, camera, or camcorder.
5. I began my research
of my family’s
background.
Some of the things I researched
were:
• Country they originated from
• Culture in that country
• When they left that country and
moved to America
• Why they left their home
country to live in America
