Even if born in the United States , your mom and dad maybe born here too, BUT where were the grannies from ? Iam trying to find out how people loose their original language , culture ,even religion . The third generation oh Hispanics [no matter from what country] born in the United States either do not speak Spanish or have difficulty with speaking it! The old custums and religion beliefs are mostly lost , yet they [we] continue to say we are Hispanics! I know 4 generation Italians who dont speak Italian , are not catholic , and are loyal to the United States , WHAT GIVES? How is this possible? I being Puertorican [not born here] relate to my ancestors , speak spanish , have lost religion a bit, but Iam loyal to Puertorico and the Independence party, my sons , on the contrary are very much americanised, but speak Spanish fluently, what makes a human being loose their original ancestry?
