What is a Family Tree?

A family tree is a special way to show how family members are connected. It looks like a tree, where each branch represents a different part of the family.

• At the top, we have grandparents, who are the oldest in the family.
• Below them are parents, uncles, and aunts.
• Then come children, like you, your siblings, and cousins!
