Genealogy Project

Genealogy Project

In class we talked about how different groups of people got to Utah. Now, we want to know how you got to Utah! Did you have great-great-great grandparents who emigrated here from Europe? Did your grandparents move to Utah from another state? Were your parents the first in your family to move to Utah? Has your entire family lived in Orem forever? Your assignment is to research by talking to family members to find out how you and your family got to Utah. You will write at least 3 paragraphs, at least 5 sentences each, explaining how you and your family came to Utah. Use the following questions to help guide your paper.
1.   Who was the first in your family to come to Utah?
2.   Where were they before they were in Utah?
3.   Why did they come to Utah?
4.   How did they get to Utah?
5.   What challenges did they face by coming to Utah?
6.   Tell a story about someone in your family who faced challenges.
7.   How has your family coming to Utah affected you and your life?
8.   Use the map to chart the route your family took to Utah.
