1: Family Genetic History (35 points):
Develop a family genetic history that includes, at a minimum, three generations of your chosen
adult’s family, including grandparents, parents, and the adult’s generation. If the adult has any
children, include them as the fourth generation. **PLEASE NOTE: This assignment is to reveal the
potential impact of the family’s health on the adult participant. You do not need to identify anyone
who is not biologically related to the adult except for a spouse or significant other.
You do not need to use symbols, but instead write brief descriptions for each person. Each
description should include the following information: first name, birthdate, death date, occupation,
education, primary language, and a health summary, including any medical diagnoses. An example is
below:
