Geography Homework

MY FAMILY IS GERMAN I THINK (JUST MAKE IT UP)

Research the history of your family as far back as you can.  Determine at what point your family moved to the United States and for what reasons (which is hallmark of cultural geography).  Include the following:

• When did your family originally arrive in the United States?
• Where did they settle?
• What reasons do you know or think that they settled for?
• What social processes from your ancestors’ home country (e.g., unemployment, religious persecution) drove them to the United States?  Did any other factors compel your family to move to the United States (e.g., poor economic conditions in the home country, frequent natural disasters, etc).

Your essay should be 2-3 pages (not including title page and references), double-spaced, and APA-formatted.  Please visit the Academic Resource Center for APA guidelines.
