My Family History

Do you know about your ancestors?They are people in your familywho lived long ago. (You say it like this: ANN-sess-terz. )Isn't that a great fancy word?

We are writing ancestor reports in class. Bree is writing abouther great-grandfather. He is ninety. He was a war hero.

Robert's great-grandmotheris one hundred! She came to America on a ship. It almost sank.

" You are both lucky, " I tell my friends. " You know your ancestors. All of mine are deceased. That's fancy for dead. "

That night my grandpa calls. He is coming to visit soon. His parents are my great-grandparents. So I ask, " Were they famous?Did they have adventures?"
