The genealogy(家谱) is popular in the US and around the world. Finding out about your close relatives as well as your ancestors (family members who lived in past times) can help you learn more about your cultural background and feel closer to your family. Here's how you can get started.
One fun way to begin is by making a family tree. This is a chart that lists people who you have something to do with. On a large piece of paper, write the names of the people in your immediate(直系的) family across the bottom. With help from a parent or other relatives, fill in additional family members and draw lines to show who they are.
Last names are one way families may be connected across generations. When you look at your family tree, you may see a few popular last names. These names can show your family's history. Some last names have something to do with people's jobs, while others have something to do with places where a family lived.
One way many families remember their history is by passing down traditions, such as how you celebrate holidays. This may include food customs. Ask a relative to show you how to make some of your family's special dishes. Other traditions that may be passed down are family stories. You and your immediate family can also create new family traditions together.
One of the best ways to celebrate your family history and learn more is to get together with your relatives. Ask a parent or grandparent if they could help you plan a family meeting. Discuss a proper place for everyone. You can also plan a time for your relatives to join a video call. This could be a great time to ask people to show photos or add to your family tree.
