Do
you know your ancestry? Where is your family from? I think everybody wants to
know about his family history. Kazakh people have to know seven or more
generations from his family tree. Unfortunately, I know just two, it is my
father and grandfather. I know about my great-grandfather nothing, and I think
my grandfather did not know anything either because he grew up in orphanage. This is why I would like to have a dinner with my great-grandfather if
I could have this chance.
When I was a child, I heard a story
about my grandfather. He was from rich family, but at this time soldiers from
Russia killed rich people and took away their property. His family was killed
too, and he survived only. I don’t know is it true or not, and I want to ask
about this my great-father. I would like to know about his family, how many
brothers and sisters he had, how many children, where they lived, and where
their descendants now. It would be
great to know about my family tree, and who knows, maybe I know them and they
know me, but we don’t know that we are relatives! I hope, that one day, I will
find something about my ancestry.
Hi kanat,
ReplyDeleteI like your essay. It has a really interesting informations. By any way I hope you can meet your great-grandfather and find more things about your ancestry. I also agree with you that "we should know about our family because it is our history and memory about ancestry".
Hi Kanat,
ReplyDeleteI like your choice because I believe that knowing your family's history is kind of interesting.
I know Kazakhstan had hard time through Soviet Union authority, so I think many people have same your story or might be harder.
However, now Kazakhstan is a developing country and independent, and that the most important thing.
I like your writing and your chosen person.
Good one!
ReplyDeleteI liked the hook even I think it was weird at the beginning! Pithy and brief essay. After reading it, I know who is the person who you want to have a dinner with, why you chose that person and what is the question that you are curious to know more about from him. Good job!
I'm sure it would be fascinating for you to finally talk with him and find out what is true and what is legend. If he grew up in an orphanage, I wonder if he ever knew about his own origin. That would be a very strange situation, to grow up and not know anything about your own history.
