My father and my aunt with the college degree are the only ones married out of the 6. My father’s genetics are similar to all of his siblings you can actually tell and would think they are six-tuplets by one look in the face. My father and her are the only ones that moved to the United States. Everyone else only completed high school. From my father’s side, everyone but one of my Aunts was the only one to finish her college degree. Everyone else only completed high school and began working shortly after. My uncle, the oldest of the 11 siblings, along with my mother are the only ones with a college degree. 2 of the 11 siblings my mother has is having issues with asthma and high blood pressure my mother is dealing with these health issues as well.

My other aunt, second youngest sibling from my mother’s side helped raised my siblings and I with her 5 children. One of my aunts passed away a few months ago in the summer due to asthma and other lung related problems. 7 of the 11 children from my mother’s siblings have the same genetics by this I mean they all look alike in the face.

My father is the middle child from his mother’s children I feel this is why my father and I understand each other more compared to my mother. My mother is the youngest of the 11 children my grandmother had. Amazingly enough, my other aunt named my cousin after her (Ivelisse). From my mother’s sisters, one of my aunts, I never got to meet because my grandmother lost her due to miscarriage. My family, as I now realize, is really big. My grandparents from my father’s side had 6 children. My grandparents from my mother’s side had 11 kids. Let’s move on to the second-generation portion of my genogram. Majority of my aunts and uncles including my parents are married and still are married. Another example is everyone being Dominican and being born and raised in that country. My brother is an Atheist, my sister now being baptized for Christianity, and me questioning the religions of the world. There are few similarities I have noticed within the first and second generation in my family. Both of my grandfather’s suffered from high blood pressure issues. My grandparents in the Dominican Republic have lived longer that my grandparents from my mother’s side. In addition, my grandmother is 78 now and is almost 20 years apart from my grandfather.

I feel it is due to the distance and not enough time spent together. My grandmother is my only grandmother I have left and I wish I had more of a connection with her like I did with my mother’s grandmother. My grandfather was lucky enough to live as old as 93. My grandparents from my father’s side still live in the Dominican Republic. They eventually migrated to the United States but had all of their children in the Dominican Republic. I was really close with her and she was one of the people who inspired me with school. My grandmother was close with all of her nieces and nephews.

She had skin cancer and never attended to it. My grandmother had more than one issue with her health. They both have had a history of asthma and problems breathing. Both of my grandparents had a lot of health issues. Interestingly enough they both passed on the 17th which is interesting they were also a few years apart in age! I asked my mother if my grandparents had ancestors from places other than Dominican Republic she stated my grandfather’s mother was Puerto Rican, and their parents migrated from Spain. My grandparents from my mother’s side both are in heaven. So I begin with my grandparents from both my mother and father’s side. Let me take you on my journey in finding out what’s within my family. Nevertheless, I wanted to include my cousins but that would take more time and a few more paper. I also noticed a few health patterns and relationships I never knew where there. Surprisingly, I found out so much about my roots that I never knew before. Using a genogram however, allows me to figure out more about my family. In the midst of memories within a person’s childhood, one cannot truly find out everything at a young age.
