Answer:
I made some corrections:
If I was to write about the history of my family, I have to do it by following these three steps, which are finding, evaluating, and interpreting sources. To find the information needed, I could ask my grandparents or talk to grown-up people in the family as they might know a lot more than others as they are older. To verify what they answered, I could find records of my family if there's one or take a look at old pictures for verification and further information as well. After I found the resources, I have to evaluate them. To evaluate, I would compare different people's stories with the sources I got around my family, especially with people who have the same background as my family. I could also ask them again for them to verify. Lastly, it's time for the interpretation of the sources. To interpret, I would think about what I've learned from steps 1 and 2. I could ask grown-ups for their thoughts and experience on it as they might know much better than me.

Explanation:
The text has different tenses:
- Present perfect simple: it is in the first, third, and sixth points.
We use present perfect to talk about activities in the recent past, like in the first and sixth case where the word "just" and "yet" indicates these recent past events or activities. We also use it to talk about experiences, like point three, where we ask Paul about Prague. The word ever indicates this tense use since we can only use it in interrogative and negative questions in the present perfect.
- Present continuous: point two is telling us what the person is feeling at the moment. In point seven, the present continuous tells us about an activity taking place in the present. In point eight, we use the present continuous tense since it talks about a plan in the future that has already been planed.
- Present simple: Is present in point four to talk about Paul's routine at work. In point nine, we use the present simple tense to talk about a habit, which in this case is something that he says regularly. Lastly, it is in point ten to indicate plans that have a date or time set.
- Present perfect continuous: is in point five, and we use it to talk about activities that started a short while ago and that are still happening. We do not use the present perfect simple tense because it would indicate that the activity started not in the recent past.
S.E.E stands for Signing Exact English.
It’s more visual sign but it is somewhat improvised. Certain signals will have different prefixes and the same root sign. Signers gain a bigger vocab this way but it takes longer
P.S.E is Pidgin signed English. This helps keep the pace when corresponding with speaking. So words that aren’t that meaningful to the sentence are removed.
