Slowing down long enough to evaluate what you have just discovered is very necessary for your success. To help you remember what the text book asked you to consider; refer to 1-11 in your textbook.

As you begin the homework assignment for this lesson, you will discover some interesting aspects of your own family. Take as much time as is necessary to ask yourself many questions about each piece of family information you locate.

Finally you'll need to use the information found to set new goals. Examples of how to do this were introduced under Step 7 of the Research Cycle (on pages 1-12 and 1-13). The real fun begins when you are able to do this same exercise on your own family, but first we must practice together on our examples.
