For week 5, I pursued a different line of inquiry. Genealogy is about connecting family. I have learned a lot about finding ancestors and building family tree connections through research. I have learned some great skills and found some interesting people. No matter how great my research skills are, I can only find so much information, because they are dead. This week I am gathering information, before they die.
In my search for more information, I learned a new skill. I made a google form, my first ever. (I actually made 2.) My parents have 11 children, 10 of which are married, 47 grandchildren, and 13 great-grand children. My children have cousins they have never met or only met once.
I created two surveys, one for people older than 18 and one for people younger. Each survey has about 15 questions, some to gather factual information and some to gather interests, hobbies. I am sending these out. I am not sure just yet how I will use the information. I will find a way to package it so that everyone can have it before the family reunion in July. That is going to be a crazy week. So much fun. I may use the information for a Jeopardy like game.
Inquiry question: I would love to figure out how to gather pictures. I wanted to have that as part of the google form, but I couldn't figure out how. Any ideas?
