3. To ask for and give information about the family and family relationships
Cultural Note: Asking for and giving information about whether the members of one’s family are Deaf or hearing is a common cultural and social practice. Deaf people believe information such as this can contribute to understanding something about an individual and the individual’s place among Deaf people.

4. To ask for and give information about the family and family relationships
Family Information Alex: MY FAMILY GATHER-TOGETHER TOMORROW. NOT-YET GATHER-TOGETHER SINCE TWO YEAR. Chris: FAMILY DEAF? Alex: PARENTS DEAF. SISTER DEAF. TWO BROTHER, ONE DEAF, ONE HEARING. Chris: BROTHER HEARING, SIGN? Alex: OF-COURSE!

5. To ask for and give information about the family and family relationships
Cultural Note: Establishing whether hearing members of a Deaf person’s family sign is part of finding out something about the Deaf person’s experience. The conversation above has an interesting twist: Gloria’s family is Deaf except for a hearing brother, so it is slightly ironic for Maria to ask if he can sign. Gloria’s response of “Of course!” indicates the importance of sign to the family.
