One cousin is in construction any other is a radio disc jockey and I have a third cousin which I do not know what he does for a living.

What I have learned
As I’ve done research on my family I have learned that my grandfather was a milkman.
Did whatever he could take care of his family. When my father had to move to California because of his eyesight. He and my grandmother and aunt moved out as well. Family is very important. Even though the Longman man may be thickheaded we do here we have to do to take care of the family.

What is next?
My plan is to keep researching. Learning more and more about my family’s history. Where we came why we did what we did. And whom we did it for. I have got back all the way to 1706 my research. There is no plan to stop. I want to leave a legacy that was inherited from the Longman family and pass it to mine in the future Longman’s

    I came across a quote that can dictate my lesson learned while researching my family that states, “We are all part of a puzzle called history. We are each a tiny piece of that puzzle that makes the big picture.” As I grow older, all my decisions will influence how I carry my family’s name along with me. If I decide to get married as I grow older, I would like my last name to be hyphenated with my future husbands as the Segovia family has done for many years. I hope to carry along all the customs and traditions both families hold and share it along with my future children and for many generations to…

    It is a common misconception that humans as a whole have certain rights simply because they are born with them. Many believe they are free to exercise these rights unhindered because it is their right to do so. It is important to recognize this fallacy, because living under the assumption that we have rights just for being born is how they slowly get taken away. The truth is, that the current rights of United States citizens exist because they were fought for, and they must continue to be fought for or they will be taken. We study history so we don’t forget that.…
