Here is my final project of my family tree that has taken me a great deal of time.

I started off by interviewing my parents all they knew about there family and where they came from and how far they can go back. They gave me a lot of good information.

Then I e-mailed my mom asking her more about her family and what other good information she could give me. She couldn't really give me a lot but it helped me some what.

With all the information they gave me I created this Family Echo.

Here are the other things I created with the information.

The main event is how you over come all the problems you have at school or out of school and not giving up or quit.
