multi-genre proposal


My Family History 

I plan to do my research project over my family history.  I know some about my family, but there are a lot of holes especially on my dad’s side. He doesn’t talk to his family much anymore, so I never really go to know them. Therefore I’ve only heard stories about my family history and where I come from.  If I really started to look into it though my dad would get back in touch with his relatives and I could trace back the history and get 1st person interviews.  Other than that I can go to ancestry.com and fill in other information that my surviving family members can’t tell me.  This is important to me, because recently I’ve had many family members pass away, and its made me appreciate the members I have left.  It also makes me want to know more about where I come from and if everything I’ve heard is true.

  1. My family is similar. I know some of my extended family, but after one or two generations, I don't know much. It'd be fun to see where your family comes from.

  9. I love this topic. My moms side can be tracked all the way back to when they sailed over from Germany in the 1800s, but after that we're lost.
