Siblings

(Great for information but lousy to date or marry)

    --- Make a list of all sibs, including half sibs on the fathers’ side

    Give name of the sib’s bio mother if known and/or location. The world is small enough that teens can later meet relatives unknowingly.

    ---Interview older sibs who can provide interesting stories about early times ( but remember that trauma impacts memory)

    ---Get pictures of sibs whenever possible
