America is well known for being a
melting pot of different ethnic groups and cultures, but nowhere is this
diversity more pronounced than in Queens, New York.
Here, second-generation Puerto Ricans
live alongside third-generation Greeks and first-generation Koreans, all united
by a common feeling of pride in their American identity. However, they are also
proud and curious about their ancestral roots. National Geographic's
Genographic Project, also known as the Human Family Tree, set out to trace the
origins by examining their genetic makeup using a simple DNA test. What
interested them more was something that intrigues us all: the history of our
recent ancestry. One recurring theme among immigrants seems to be the
hard work and sacrifices that went into building a new life, and how their
descendants now feel a duty to honor that effort by working hard too. Here is
one Queens resident's story.
Richard, 38
My great-grandfather Tomas came to
America from Poland when he was fifteen. His mother had died, and his father
remarried. Tomas didn't like his stepmother, so he ran away to Belgium, where
he boarded a ship to America—without a ticket. Arriving in America with
nothing, he got a job on the railroads in California. Then one day he saw an
announcement in a newspaper that was read by immigrants. It was from his
brother in New York who was also seeking his fortune in America and was looking
for him. Tomas got in touch and they had an emotional reunion in New York,
where Tomas subsequently settled. This is the story that my grandmother has
passed down to us, to my parents, and all my aunts and uncles. She is an
amazing woman and I suppose: the one who holds us all together. She's actually
quite forgetful now, but she never forgets family details. What that has meant
is that all of us have a strong family bond and a strong sense of belonging to
a group that has struggled and fought together to steered here.
