My family came to the United States from Europe, specifically, Italy. My family isn't sure exactly where in Italy, but we are mainly Italian. My family came to the United States in the 1880s. My family came here in attempt to escape disease spread throughout Europe when the traveling expenses became cheaper. My Great Grandpa was fully Italian, so that is what I mainly am, but I am a mix of a lot of things from my dad's side too.
Some obstacles that they met when traveling over was the traveling expenses because my family was never wealthy until today and the diseases that could do much harm to them as they tried to come to the U.S. A famous gunfire shot in Arizona during their arrival, as well as the U.S. congress banning the Chinese from entering the U.S. Because my family landed in Boston and wasn't Asian, they weren't affected.
