hello! family genogram

Hi everyone!
Glad to hear from everyone. First I wanted to send my condolences to the family, particularly patty and Kristy. I was very sad to hear about the passing of your brother/father. I hope you are making it through this difficult time with the support of your loved ones.
Second, I'm glad to hear everything turned out okay with Sarah. What a trooper, waiting in the ER for all those hours.....
And finally, I had mentioned a while back that I have this project I'm working on for school. I was hoping everyone would be able to help me out at this point.

The big project for my masters revolves around my own "family of origin," meaning you!!! I have to put together, what we in the therapy world, call a genogram - which is an elaborate family tree. It will include my immediate family, my parents' brothers and sisters and their children, and my grandparents' brothers and sisters and their children and grandchildren, etc.

I am hoping you can each email me as much of the following information as possible about your immediate families, and then any other family members (not included in our blog) that you know the information for of all the Leone's - the descendants of Giovanianna.

What I am looking for is:
  • full names
  • birth date
  • nicknames
  • place of birth
  • dates of marriages, divorce, separation, or death if applicable

We have also been asked to pick 4 ares of interest to gather information about.
My four are (where applicable):
  • diseases/illnesses (think high blood pressure, heart dieases, cancer, anything else)
  • occupation title
  • highest level of education (grammaer school, highschool, some college, college, Masters, Phd, etc.)
  • eye color (blue, brown, hazel, etc)
  • Any information you have would be greatly appreciated!!!! All the details are not necessary, but just as much as possible would be fabulous.
If you have any questions, please don't hesitate to ask.
Thanks in advance for your help with this!
I'll be excited to share the final product with everyone.

Thanks!!!!
