Work in pairs. How many words for family members can you think of? Write as many as you can in one minute.

Meet the ancestors What makes you who you are? Part of the answer is in your family’s past. Become a detective and find clues to your family history. When you look in the mirror, do you see your father’s smile? Maybe you take after your mother. If you have your grandmother’s eyes, it’s because of DNA. It contains genes that are our body’s unique set of instructions, including how we look. Genes are passed down through generations, and if you are wondering which part of the world your ancestors were from, a scientific test, known as a DNA test, can show you. We inherit our looks and much more. From one generation to the next, families pass down favourite foods, traditions and stories. In fact, your family’s past has many different stories. You may have heard them shared at a family get-together. Who were your parents’ grandparents? Where did they live, and what were they like? Unique stories like these make you and your family special. 1 Your family’s history may be a mystery to you, but there’s a way to learn about it. It’s called genealogy, and it’s the study of the people you are related to. Genealogy helps you piece together your family history. It starts with the relatives you know, such as parents and grandparents, and then it takes you back in time. You can learn about ancestors who lived and died long before you were born.

2 It isn’t difficult to learn about your past. You can begin by asking your relatives questions about your ancestors. Who were they? Where did they grow up? While you are talking with family members, take notes. This helps you organise any information you get. Make sure you write down any names, dates or places people mention. After you’ve talked to your family members, you can start putting the pieces together. Draw your family tree, similar to the one above, and write your name at the top. Work down to your parents, grandparents and great grandparents. 3 Are there any blank boxes in your tree? Then it’s time for some detective work! Many people begin their research at a library where they can look for family names in old newspapers. Public records are usually a very good thing to check out too. Clues on records such as birth, marriage and death certificates can be found there. Some records show when people immigrated to a country. Sometimes, records tell you where people went to school, what their profession was or when they bought land. You can also search the Internet. With every bit of research you do, you are discovering your family’s history.
