- complete cards for the eight great grandparents Step 2 - Go to this website: https://www.libertyellisfoundation.org/ * Complete a brief paragraph discussing the history of the Statue of Liberty. (3-5 sentences) * Complete a brief paragraph discussing the history of Ellis Island. (3-5 sentences) * Directions: During the next couple of weeks in class, we will be reading about and discussing the idea of IDENTITY. There are many ways in which a person can describe their identity: legally, physically, in relation to their family, ethnically, and even spiritually. Your assignment is to do research about your genealogy and to use it to create a family tree. Below is a list of suggestions and requirements to guide you in your search. Step 1: In order to start your research, you should begin with yourself. Once you have all of that information recorded, you can move onto your parents and siblings. The facts that they give you can help you to expand from there into your extended family (grandparents, aunts, uncles, cousins, in-laws, nieces/nephews). You are only required to go back 4 generations, or to your great-grandparents, including all of the relatives (aunts, uncles, and cousins) that come between. Anything else will be considered extra effort and may earn you extra credit. The information that you are looking for would include:a. Full Names (First and Last) b. Year/Date of Birth – Year/Date of Death c. Country of Birth d. Marriage(s) e. Children SET-UP: 1. Information cards- By giving each person an individual card/square with his or her information, you can move them around on the paper, trying out different ways to organize your “tree”. Each card should be fairly small, and the information should be written or typed neatly. Example: Full Name Date of Birth- Date of Death Place of Birth 2. Family branches- To show the different branches of your family (mom’s side vs. dad’s side), some people find it helpful to use different colors, such as with the paper for their info cards, or the lines connecting each member. You can also use varying shapes or ink colors- whatever works best for you! 3. Connecting- One way to show how people are connected in the family is to draw lines. The line between two married people should be doubled, like an equals sign. If they are divorced, the relationship is otherwise over, or one is deceased and the other remarried, draw a diagonal line through the equal sign. For children, draw a straight line coming down from the equals sign, branching if there is more than one child.

Neatness- The most important thing is to make sure that you are neat and organized while setting this project up. Neatness helps to prevent confusion and may help you when I assign grades! NOTICE: Non-conventional families- Anyone who finds any problems with setting up their families, such as adoptions, estranged parents/spouses, large numbers of siblings, or other such issues, please see your teacher ASAP! If you do not see me before the due date and your project is handed in incomplete, then you will lose credit!!!
