Family Tree Project

To accompany the work you have completed on constructing a GoogleDoc family tree, I would like for you to draft a 2 page document explaining your ancestry and highlighting any particularly memorable anecdotes. The purpose is to provide a narration: be clear in delineating your mother's side versus your father's, be direct in explaining where your ancestors are from, why they may have (or did not) migrate, and how you ended up where you are today. You may use the first person but please maintain a formal tone. All exceptions that we have discussed previously still apply- if your relatives are adopted or international mold the assignment to fit your family!

This assignment will be due a week from tomorrow, May 9th. When you hand it in, it should have:

A proper heading and title.
A minimum of 2 pages.
Your GoogleDoc family tree, printed out and stapled to the back.

This should be interesting and fun! You have already done the majority of the work. :)
