does your family have a record of your ancestors ?   sure . My mom has been working on our family tree for years . She ’ s always updating it .   do you have a copy of your family tree in your house ? I ’ d love to see it .   I can show it to you now , if you like . I think it goes back about 8 generations so far .   that ’ s amazing . Do you have a large extended family ?   I ’ Ve got 30 cousins on my mom ’ s side and 10 cousins on my dad ’ s side .   are you very close to your first-cousins ?   the ones that are my age are close relatives . Now that I ’ m older , I don ’ t spend as much time with them as I used to , so I don ’ t know my younger cousins as well as the older ones .   I see . who ’ s the head of your household ?   it ’ s definitely my mother . And , her mother is definitely the matriarch of the bigger family .   that ’ s interesting . What does your grandfather think of your step-mother ?
