It’s a long way from Sweden to Seattle, but that’s the distance the Aardvark family traveled in four generations.
Then outline the family roots as far back as you can, talk about the jobs your grandparents and great grandparents had, how much education they had, when the moved from one country to another, what prompted them to move, etc.etc.
You might want to talk about the standard of living your family enjoys, compared to that of your great, great, grandparents, who likely didn’t have electricity or running water and never even dreamed of television.
Find out how your great grandparents met and start there. Ask your parents about their grandparents and that is where you start. If one parent knows more about their grandparents, then start with that side. They would be your great grandparents, since you have to go back three generations.
My great grandparents helped settle the wild, wild west in the 1850s in Texas on my Mom’s side. I haven’t found out as much about my Dad’s side but I believe they came from Canada or New York.
Find a family tree chart online or make one up on your own and fill it in with as much as you can find out about your parents, then your grandparents and then your great grandparents.
My goodness, what if I conduct interview with one of my family members but he doesn’t know anything, will my family tree chart stops right there? And when there is someone who wouldn’t want to speak of their family, what now?
