Where does your family Come From?

Research your family’s history.  How did they end up living in California/Aptps? What parts of the country or world did your family come from?    How did they get here?  What jobs did they do?  Is there something interesting you learned about them or their journey?  You may either fill in the chart to answer these questions or write a paragraph on the back.  Please be prepared to locate on map (with support) the places your family comes from. Family photos are encouraged.
