My name is Josephine Dominguez and I live in Vista, California. I grew up in Carlsbad. We just moved to Vista three years ago. I've been doing geneaology for five years now, and I traced my family all the way back to the 1700s, on both sides. I'm interested in doing it because I think ancestry is very important, and history, especially that, I'm Latino from the United States. I got interested because I had a few uncles that I saw all the time, they were alcoholics and I just, I wanted to know what my family was about. As I started doing the research on my family I discovered that they had very rich bonds here, in the United States. They weren't just alcoholics, they were in wars, the American, World War II. I had several uncles in those wars, and they made me very proud when I did the history because they were engineers, they had pretty good backgrounds, and it made me proud because I didn't know what they were, you know. And I thought that they weren't nothing, until I did the research.
