Paper Summary:

This paper presents a narrative essay exploring the family tree of the author. It details the family's routes through immigration to America from Germany and the trail of building a new life. The paper describes that the family elders wanted the family born in the United States never to take the right to vote for granted.

From the Paper:

"My family was among the hundreds of thousands of families that flocked to the states years ago to seek their fortune and begin a new life in the land of opportunity. My father's family hailed from Germany, while my mother's family was of Dutch decent in Holland. When the VonNess family came through Ellis Island from Germany they were prepared to whatever it took to succeed in their newly claimed nation. Neither my great-grandmother or my great-grandfather spoke English but were undaunted in their confidence that they would figure out how to communicate once they arrived in the city of New York."
