Genogram

I am very excited to start this genogram project.  My dad side of the family is rather small because he only has two other sisters. So that side of the family will be pretty easy to document.  My moms side of the family is very large.  She grew up with 9 brothers and sisters.  When I was little though, one of her brothers died in a car accident.  I don't really remember him, and I hope to learn more about him through this project.  I have a lot of cousins, because all of my moms brothers and sisters had four or more kids.  Therefore our family gatherings are a lot of fun.  I think this project is going to be very interesting.

Genogram

In my family I have a total of 26 cousins. I have three siblings, and even though my family is huge, there is no divorce or adoption. There is also no drug addiction or abuse, which makes my genogram fairly easy to make. It will be very simple, but big. The years that my aunts and uncles got married I'm unaware of so it will be neat to see when they did. My family is really close and by making this genogram it will allow me to know more about them and find out a little bit more about my family history.

Genogram

Well for my genogram I think it should be very interesting for people to understand. My mom has a big family, including lots of cousins and aunts and uncles. My dad has a family of six and 2 others who were basically adopted. My mom's side is quite interesting because my grandpa was married 3 times. All of my grandmothers have gone and past, the most recent, who me and my siblings knew the best and loved lots, died this summer with a long fight with cancer. My biological grandma died when my mom was 12 and then my grandpa got married not to long after. My mom is the oldest and has two brothers. From the second marriage my mom finally gained a sister, and another brother. My grandpa adopted them. I wouldn't change it for the world. Soon she too passed away when I was young and though we didn't know her to well, I still miss her. My grandma who just passed away was pretty much our grandma. Anywho finding out about my biological grandma since I never met, her should be interesting and what there is to know about her. It will also be interesting to find out about my great grandparents because they are all deceased. I am intersested to see if I can make comparisons with them to my own parents and grandparents and see if that is where they get their personalities and such. My dad has 6 kids in his family including him. They all have quite interesting stories, and that should be a fun part to learn about. I am excited to learn about my family and where they came from and where the illnesses and that stemed from as well.

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.

Genogram

My genogram is not going to be interesting at all.  I have probably one of the smallest families ever.  I have a grandma and grandpa on each side, 1 aunt, 1 uncle, 2 cousins and then my family which consists of my mom, dad and brother.  There have never been any divorces, drug problems, etc.  I think because mine is going to be so small I might do some research and go farther back into my great grandparents and their families.  I never knew how much you could find out from a genogram.  Hopefully by going farther back in my family's history, I will be able to find out even more about my family than I already know.

I think that my genogram will be intresting. I don't have any drug addictions or alcohol problems in my family, but I do have a few divorces every now and then. Those don't make my family genogram interesting but they do add depth to it. I think that filling out my genogram will help me figure out parts of my mom's side that I don't quite understand. Also it will help me understand parts of a family and their connections in my future job. And possibly why the child or children behave like they do or why the parent's behave like they do.

Family Structure

I have done a geneology when I was in middle school and I did not realize how they show your family's structures. I just did the assignment and looked up who the people in my family were but now I get to dig deep in my family's history. I get to look and see if they were divorced, any problems with them or what their relationships are with other people in the family. It will be interesting to do this project and learn about my family.
