  Rachel Bliven, Manager of Regional Interpretation for MVHCC, said it is common for immigrants to lose touch with their heritage after several generations in America.Time and intermarriage play significant roles in the loss of native languages and specific cultural traditions."The number of ethnic churches and clubs has dwindled, as have the concentrations of nationality groups in places well-known for them," said Bliven.
