You should compare the two families in terms of the following:

Family composition: describe the kinship structure of each household. Speciify the ages of each family member.
Cultural heritage: what are the ethnic and religious ties of each family? How important are these ties in understanding each family?

Gender roles: What were the gender roles in each family? How and to what extent were these patterns reflected in the division of labor and authority structure of each household?
Parent-child relations: What types of parent-child relations were encouraged? What differences existed between the maternal and paternal roles? What was expected of children, and what types of discipline were employed?

Specify the procedures you employed to gather your information. What difficulties did you encounter? Keep in mind that your parents or grandparents may prefer not to share some information with you.
