Part Two

Both of my parents are from the United States. My mom is half polish and Irish and my dad is German, Polish, and Irish. My grandmother on the other hand was 100% Irish. The she married my grandfather that was 100% Polish, which made my mom half Irish and half Polish. My grandfather was born in the United States, but his parents migrated from Poland to the United States. All of the questions that I asked my grandma were where my great grandparents migrated too in the United States. She told me that they came too New York in 1922 from Poland. I think it is amazing how I have someone in my family that was not born and raised in the United States. I say this because the tradition of my deceased Grandfather is still going on. I say this because when my grandfather was around we would call him Go dish which means grandfather in Polish. I think that this is very important for this to continue because I know it would mean a lot to my grandfather because his culture was always important to him. Also my dad’s grandfather and grandmother migrated from Ireland in 1918 to the same migration site that my mom’s side migrated too New York. My dad does not really talk about his family because he is not as close as he was when he was younger, but I know that if he knew more about it he would take in all the information and share it with my sister and I. All of this about my ancestors is very important because I think you should know about where you came from and how it came to be that you were born in this great country we live in now. I will tell my children one day all of the things I wish to fully know one day.
