Genogram

I am actually very excited to start on my genogram. My moms side of the family is actually quite small and very normal. My fathers side on the other hand is interesting. I would not say they are complicated because of all of the very comlicated stories we heard in class so just interesting. My dad has two sisters and 3 brothers. Out of his 3 brothers two of them have died. One of them was in a car accident and him and his wife were killed. I was very young when this happened so I do not know much about it so I am excited to use this opportunity to learn more about it. His other brother was an alcoholic, which I just recently figured out. He then committed suicide one night when his wife and daughter were out of town. The next morning was the morning of his daughter-in-laws baby shower, therfore his son came to get him and found him that morning. I am looking forward to finding out more about this sore subject in the family as well. I would like to find out if he had any other problems then alcoholism. This project is a good way for me to find out many questions I have been having about my dads side of the family.
