Case Study

Tracing your family tree is called genealogy. There is a program called Family Tree Maker by Brøderbund.

You can download this program from http://familytreemaker.genealogy.com/abtffiv.html#dnload

 

 

 

Examine this program critically.

Some students at Crestwood High School have made the comments

"We don't use surnames in this way in my family…how do I fill it in?"

"I don't know my mother's maiden name or where my grandfather was born?"

"Can I make up pretend names and not use real ones?"

"How do I delete someone?"

You may have your own questions when you start using the program.
