Name ___________________ Date ____ Class ____ _ History and Cultures of East Asia and Southeast Asia Chart, Graph, and Map Skills Activity Interpreting a Family Tree , Learning the Skill A "family tree" is a type of chart or diagram that shows the various relationships of members in a particular family. Some family trees label the oldest generation at the bottom, signifying that these people form the "roots" of the family. Other family trees place the oldest generation at the top and have lines connecting to their children underneath. Follow these steps to learn how to interpret a family tree: • Read the title to find out whose family is being diagrammed. • Begin at the top (or perhaps bottom) with the founding father and mother. These people are the oldest family members. • Lines that emerge from any "box" connect parents and children. Follow the lines that connect the founding parents to their chil dren-the next generation. • Names that are at the same level often are brothers and sisters. Usually they are connected to their spouses with a plus (+) or equal (=) sign. fI Practicing the Skill Directions: The family tree below shows some of the family members of Pu Yi, the last emperor of China.
