Ask your family about any health conditions that parents, grandparents, aunts, uncles, cousins, or siblings may have had.
Ask about chronic disease (such as diabetes, cardiovascular disease, or high blood pressure), inherited conditions, and mental health concerns.
If you’re not in contact with your family, you can check out genealogy sites for information about the generations before you. This might give you birth and death information that could help you get more information about the health of your relatives.
If you were adopted, start with your adoptive parents. They may have some information about your birth family.
If the adoption was in Alberta, you can contact Alberta Human Services Adoption Records for the forms you need to access information about your adoption.
