Heritage: something handed down from ones ancestors
or the past, as a characteristic, a culture, tradition, etc.
 Knowing
the heritage of your family can give you a real sense of belonging.
To the world, to your family and to the past. Tracing your family
tree, and researching where your family comes from can also give
you some insight into who you are. Why you celebrate certain
holiday's in certain ways and at certain times as an example.
For instance, ever wonder why you might begin celebrations of
Christmas after dinner on Christmas Eve, and others wait till
Christmas Day? The reason could be an old connection to family
religoius practices from very long ago.
