The information you've now collected and organized in your family tree is not only important to you. It's also important for others. Some day, it will be important for YOUR children.

Right now let's see what we can do with your information by just combining it with the information collected by the other members of your group.

What would you like to learn by combining your personal family information with the information collected by the other members of your group?

Examples:
1. How many of US have moved here from another country?
2. How many of US have moved here from another city?
3. How many of our parents moved here from another country?

Let's say that there are 25 people in your class or group. This also means that your group has 50 parents and 100 grandparents.

After collecting all the information from all the members in your group, you can organize the information in very interesting ways.

For example, if you asked: How many of US have moved here from another country? Imagine that 8 of your group (out of 25) say that 'I've have moved here from another country'. This means that 32% of your group are IMMIGRANTS, almost 1/3.

Now, imagine that out of the 50 parents that have been interviewed, 22 of them say that they were born someplace else and moved here. This means that 44% of the parents are immigrants.

Finally, what if from the 100 grandparents, 67 of them reported that they were bron someplace else. That means that 67% - or 2/3 of the grandparents are immigrants.

What you have learned from combining this information is that your group reflects a high level of immigration. However, in each of the last three generations, the level of immigration has declined.
