Every Cinco de Mayo me and my family and I would dress up and dance and sing. But my favorite is the cooking cause of the rice and beans and mayo it taste so good together. We do the same thing on the Day of the Dead. This is my Genealogy, a line of descent traced continuously from an ancestor. Like me for instance, I go back to 1600`s and a person named Samuel Rascon.

To begin with, genealogy is a great thing to research and look up your family with. First, the family tree is the most important to do while doing a genealogy so you can write names down so you remember them. One thing that helps you a lot is talking with your family to get more information to make things a lot better. Also interviews help to it helps find out little details that are big details that make things extremely better. Mrs. Michaelson came in telling us her experience with genealogy and it was interesting. Then a man named Tom Munson showed us his family tree and how it should look and it looked great. I would always go one canvas and look up my modules and then go on this website called Ansestryclassroom.com and that’s where I would find all my information. Samuel Rascon he was 60 years old and had a wife named Ramona Rascon 58 years old and they loved each other so much until people said that one was cheating on another and they had one child that ran away.

They are all civilized in their own way and know how to work hard for the things that they receive. Their work and harvest skills are impeccable and would be an excellent asset to any community. Although many of the white settlers coming to Georgia wish to dispose of the Indians, it would ultimately be more beneficial for them to stay. The Indians should be able to stay and I am willing to do anything to make this a possibility.…

    Although people assume otherwise, I am Latina, and I'm proud to be a part of that community. I obtain my Latin blood from my father, who moved to the United States from Uruguay as a child.

    Everyone has hobbies; I have had my fair share of them from writing to that one dark period where I gave stand-up comedy a try; however, nothing has ever gotten me as giddy with excitement as genealogy. As a child, I would often annoy my mother by pestering her for family history, like asking her to remember what her grandparents’ grandparents’ names were. In the beginning of my research, I found out that Plata was a common last name given to indigenous silver mine workers in Mexico, and imagine my surprise when I asked my mother if any of her family had even been miners, and she said told me that before her father, all the men in her family were. Little nuggets of history like this continued to fuel my passion. Growing up a child of immigrants,…

    Doing a Genogram about my family history, beliefs, and culture is somewhat difficult for me due to a number of reasons. One being that I never met my biological father therefore don’t know anything of the family background that compiles half of my genetic make up, another reason being because I know very little of my mother’s extended family, and frankly because I don’t think we really have many structured family beliefs. Before I dive into the cultural beliefs that my family has, let me quickly explain my family dynamic. My mother was one of two daughters. My aunt Debra moved to Texas before I was born and to this day I have never met her or anyone in her family.…
