Many modern family structures no longer include traditional lineage. Does your child know where they stand in the family structure? Do you? These easy to understand family tree charts, tools and diagrams can help catalog your family structure. Today with DNA testing and online ancestry web sites learning about your past is easier than any time in history. You and your child will love learning about genealogical history. In fact, knowing their family history may provide comfort by giving children structure and comfort about familial connections to understand who they are and perhaps why family members clash or disagree.
Family tree research is a good family oriented project for grandparents and other interested relatives.
Don't forget to include adopted family members, in-laws, ex-laws and out-laws in the clan.
