To investigate my family tree in order to:

• To find more out about my ancestors including:

– What did they do for a living?

– Where and how long did they live?

– How did they die?

• Create a digital family tree

In conclusion:

I have learned that my family on my dad's side originated in France and were involved in endless military conflicts and battles and often died young

I am very happy that we no longer live in such violent times and there are plenty of different types of job opportunities these days!
