Family Heritage. My Moms Grandpa grew up in England, and arrived
in America with his brothers and parents, so that he and his
brothers would have a better future. This country is important to
me because it is where my family came from, and this heritage makes
me who I am today.
Where and When my Family was Born. My Great Grandfather was born
in England, and my family is not sure about the time period in
which he was born.
