Cultural family origin?

Question

How would I answer the question:
"Describe the culture of your family of origin."

Is this question asking me to describe my familys values and traditions?

Answer 1

Yes, to some extent. But they may mean just name the ethnic group to which your parents belong: the country of origin of your genes. For example, I am Pennsylvania Dutch. I would probably say Pennsylvania German, because that is more accurate, and go on to describe something of the farm country and lifestyle from which I came. But it would also be correct, I think, to describe myself as coming from sort-of conservative Protestant stock, which held to the holidays but left off going to church regularly when I was in my early teens.

The problem, of course, is that mother and father may well have come from very different stock, and so you have the option of describing both, or just describing your childhood environment the way your parents created it. A child of Jewish and Christian parents, for example, may have had double holidays, as each set of grandparents came to visit.

Answer 2

Jews took the comparable surnames of alternative individuals of their nationality. There could be some French Jews with the call Lazarre as French Catholics. actual from the Orthodox and Conservative attitude, a guy or woman is a Jew if he has a Jewish mom, not unavoidably a Jewish father. They state they get the country from the mum and the tribe from the father. If a Jew does not have a Jewish father, he belongs to the tribe of the closest male relatives member on the mum's side of the relatives. So a guy or woman could be O' Shannahan and nonetheless be a Jew.
