Kinship Universe Project
IB Social and Cultural
Anthropology
Genealogy Assignment
Purpose: create a personal family genealogy as practice for
understanding genealogies, an important anthropological tool used extensively
in our book The Trobrianders.
You will be creating a genealogy for your family. If you
need to interview a relative you can, but we want a snap shot of your kinship
universe. You can leave out ancient relatives if you choose, and you can
include “non-traditional” kin. Show us
family as you understand it! That means you decide where you start and which
lines you track.
Instructions –
- Read and review information on genealogy and vocabulary lists.
- Plan your mode of attack and make a rough draft first.
- Create your final draft on a piece of 11x17 paper or large size paper.
- Must include a legend or key .
- Kinship terms and kin relationships are required; individual’s names are optional.
- Use color, shapes, cross outs, symbols, dashed/dotted lines to help you represent different relationships and gender.
- If your family uses another language at home, please consider using kinship terms in this native tongue or family terms.
For a “4” – add one
of these cool options
Consider tracking some other elements within your genealogy.
Examples: ethnicity, country or origin, birth order, disease, death and mode of
death.
Matrilineal or patrilineal decent – see examples.
We will be sharing this information with the class, unless
special requests for privacy are made.
