Hello Everyone,

I am currently working to have our heritage recognized on the West Virginia Department of Commerce website entitled, History & Heritage Multi-Cultural Heritage. They have listed African-American History; Italian Heritage;Native-American Heritage; and Swiss Heritage.

That website is: http://wvcommerce.org/travel/thingstodo/history/multicultural/default.aspx

Further, I am writing a letter to the U.S. Census Bureau to have Asturian Spanish listed as a choice for claiming our ethnicity.

I personally believe that these are important and worthy projects, and I read somewhere that if you do not ask, the answer is always no.

Manny
