Family Mapping

Here are a few photos of my "family map" as it stands. I've done it all today and had much fun with sticky dots! The coloured dots are:

• Red - Mums side of the family
• Green - Dads side of the family
• Blue - Mum and Dads separate birth homes and family homes
• Yellow - Mum and Dads houses together and my family houses (ie. our current house and also my brother and fiances house)

The areas shown here are Leigh Park (where most of the dots are), Waterlooville, Cosham, Gosport, Portsmouth and Southsea. I shall be getting colour photocopies of the street map I've been using soon to make the same thing with the map underneath, however I'm liking the "blank map" at the moment.

I will start to draw some lines between all these dots soon to link people together such as each of the separate families within my whole family, which house people grew up in etc. Let the spiders web begin!

I'm also going to look for a large pin board to put this on as I think it'll be a nice idea to link it all with threads of varying colours instead of drawn on lines which could end up looking messy. But I will experiment with drawn on ones untill then.
