Where is my family from?
  Family History Research

On Friday, turn in seven 3 x 5 index cards. You will be given 1 point for each card completed.

1. What is your father’s full name and your mother’s full maiden name, and where was each of them born?

2. What is the name of at least one grandfather and one grandmother and the locations where they were born?

Put the information for each person on a separate 3 x 5 index card. At the top of each card put your name, and at the bottom of each card put a citation stating where you got the information: Example: “Interview with Bill Smith, September 5, 2007”

3. What is the name of at least one of your eight great-grandparents and where was he or she born?

At the top of the card put your name and at the bottom of the card put a citation stating where you got the information.

4. Tell where one of your ancestors was in 1910. Give the name of the ancestor, the location as precisely as you can, and any information you have about what was going on in his or her life.

At the top of the card put your name and at the bottom of the card put a citation stating where you got the information.

5. When did your family first arrive in the Polson area? Who came and why?

At the top of the card put your name and at the bottom of the card put a citation stating where you got the information.

If you cannot answer any of the questions, write a report on what you did in attempting to locate the answers, and what you learned.

On Friday, you will be asked to locate on a world map the locations where your parents, grandparents, and great-grandparents were born.
