Journal - Who is the oldest family member of your family you have ever met? What do you know about your family history? Have your parents ever told you anything thing about your family history? Do you know what kind of heritage you have? Explain as much as you can about your family and any history you have knowledge of.
My oldest family member that I have ever met is my great grandma. She had just turned 100 when I met her, but she's dead now. I know a little bit about my family history... My mom tells me about her side of the family's history all the time. My mom's side is German. My great grandpa Klein (deceased) had to flee Germany during the war and soldiers came and took over his land. He had to leave behind his dog and he told us that was very hard. His family made it to America where he met my great grandma Klein (deceased) who was also from Germany. My great grandma had a hard life here in America. She had to marry a man she didn't love who beat her and treated her and her kids horribly just so she could stay here and support her kids. She finally got away from him and she met my great grandpa. Besides their rough beginning, they had a comfortable life living with their son, my Papa, until their deaths.
