List some 'wonderings' about your ancestors and where they came from. Here are some the the examples of my wonderings:

I wonder if my great, great, great grandparents had have stayed in Scotland or England or France what would my life be like now? What language or accent would I have?

I wonder what jobs my great, great, great grandfathers had

I wonder how my ancestors travelled from their countries to New Zealand? I wonder why they came? I wonder if they lived in any countries on the way?

Write at least 5 'wonderings'.
