In our Hispanic heritage research projects and “Facts of the Day” we have read about people from places like Mexico, Puerto Rico, and Cuba.
Where is the one place you would like to visit for the first time (or again) to learn about your heritage? Why? What would you hope to learn about?
I would like to visit Germany and Mississipi. I would like to know how I became part German and who my long distance cousins are. I would like to visit mississipi for that same reason.
I would like to visit Mexico again because my Mom and Dad grew up there. I want to know the things they did and what kinds of things that I want can learn from their experiences. I want to know more about my family’s past life.
I would like to visit Texas for the first time because most of my family grew up there. If I ever went to Texas I would like to learn what it was like when my famliy was growing up, but I would also like to learn new customs that I could carry on to the next generation. :]
I would lik to visit Italy and Ireland because those places are the other parts of my heritage. They are mixed in with my African American heritage. My grandfather is fully Italian. I believe those countries are interesting places.
I would like to travel to Mexico. When I was little my dad would tell me stories his mother told him, some of them were scary some were funny .I would like to see the place where my grandmother was born and raised.

I would like to visit Africa for the first time because iI would like to know something about my family’s past
