Best holiday wishes to you all.

* Organize the body of your report in chronological order, beginning with your
oldest known relatives on one side of your family (maternal or paternal) and
then do the same for the other side.  These can be two separate sections. 
The third section should be about your immediate family - your parents, siblings and you!

* Write one or two paragraphs per person, depending on how much information
you have.  If you only have a small amount of information about your great-grandparents
(or whoever) you may talk about both in one paragraph.

 * You may copy pictures (or include real photos) and use them throughout
your report.
