Heritage Connections RESOURCES

WOrkbook

The Heritage Connections Workbook is specially designed to help you connect with your cultural heritage.  Maybe your family tree doesn’t go back very far.  No problem!  Don’t even know the names of your grandparents?  No biggie!  You can create connections with your ancestors simply by knowing the country or area of the world your family came from.
