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 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: Family Member Description Paternal grandfather First and last initials: RL Birthdate: 1921 Death date: 1981 Occupation: Retired as a coal miner Education: 6th grade Primary language: English Health summary: He was diagnosed with chronic lung disease, diabetes, and hypertension.
