Happy Hispanic Heritage Month! From September 15th to October 15th in the US we celebrate the history, community, diversity, and contributions of people all over the world! Hispanic people have enriched society for generations. The term Hispanic usually refers to people descending from Spanish-speaking countries, especially Spain or Latin American countries. But like so many social constructs, there's a range of broad definitions. There is no single experience or background that strictly defines Latino or Hispanic identities. Isn't that awesome?!

As genealogists we know the value of understanding history, diversity, and culture. That context helps us figure out the puzzle that is our family tree. So look up some bilingual documents, high five your neighbor, and honor your ancestors this Hispanic Heritage Month!

¡Feliz Mes de la Herencia Hispana! ¡Del 15 de septiembre al 15 de octubre en los EE.UU. Celebramos la historia, la comunidad, la diversidad y las contribuciones de personas de todo el mundo! Los hispanos han enriquecido la sociedad por generaciones. El término hispano generalmente se refiere a personas que descienden de países de habla hispana, especialmente España o países latinoamericanos.Pero como tantas construcciones sociales, hay una variedad de definiciones amplias. No existe una sola experiencia o antecedentes que defina estrictamente las identidades latinas o hispanas. ¡¿No es increíble?!

Sabemos el valor de entender la historia, la diversidad y la cultura. Ese contexto nos ayuda a descubrir el rompecabezas que es nuestro árbol genealógico. ¡Así que busque algunos documentos bilingües, alta cinco a su vecino, y honre a sus antepasados este Mes de la Herencia Hispana!
