The Roots of My family are Thin

The roots of my parents are thin and I was never taught much about my ancestral background.

Made by the author with NightCafe AI art maker

The roots of my family are not very thick. I think that they are thin. My parents did not teach any ancestrial traditions or anything to do with our many ancestries we have in our family history.

I was told that I had ancestors from a few different countries. French, Norwegian, Swedish, German, and Polish. I think there could of been another but I do not remember since I was never taught much.

I know my grandmother on my dad's side was half polish. I know my father on my mother’s side is german. I do not know how much german. I was never told that. I was never told a lot of things which leads me to believe our roots are thin. Thick roots to me are what keep our heritage going. I basically know nothing. The only reason I know and remember this little bit is that I did a family tree in school many, many years ago.

I do have to say even though my family did not teach me about where my ancestors came from besides just my grandparents. I still had good parents. They had their faults like many parents but they did raise me right. They raised me to know right from wrong and taught me good things and some bad, so our family seems to start from my parents.

I make sure both of my children know a little bit of their history from what I know and from their dad's sides I made sure they learned from them also.

Is family history fading in the USA? Is it stronger in other countries? At least if you were born in another country, seems history runs deep there and the roots were not broken and shipped to another country and then forgotten. I could be wrong but this is how I see it from my end. Most grandparents or great-grandparents that came over to the United States let go of where they were from. Not all but a handful of people growing up today in the US know very little of their history. More and more it seems to just fade away.

Let me know what you think. Do you think this is happening here in the US? For those of us here. And people in other countries how much of your family history is still present in today's families? Even in I think China or Japan, I forget where, I heard a while ago that they have modern ways but still implement old ways and new ways. So they keep their traditions alive.

Let me know in the comments what you think, would love to know how it is in other places or with other families in the US.
