This is for one of my classes, which is called “American Culture”. My homework consists in asking American people to answer the following questions in order to know a little more about the early years of the U.S. and its first inhabitants. The questions are:
1. What nationalities were your ancestors?
2. When did your ancestors immigrate to America?
3. Does anyone in your family still speak the language of the old (original) country?
4. Does your family maintain contact with any relatives in the old country?
5. What family customs or traditions from the old country do you observe
