Family Migration Artifacts

"We may have all come on different ships, but we're in the same boat now."

Martin Luther King, Jr.

Our Family Migration History:

Who Are We?

We tell our own families' migration stories through presenting a family migration artifact and explaining its meaning for us and our families. Here you may learn:

where did they come from?
when did they come to the United States?
why did they leave their homelands?

Some of us have been here quite a while (before 1965):

Megan Reder, Canada (Quebec), 1870s

David Roqueni, Belgium to Spain to Cuba to US, e20C

Juan San Nicolas, Spain to Guam, 16th C

Shiloh Schardt, German, 1956

Why 1965?
