WEEK 49 – Family recipe

 WEEK 49 – Family recipe

There is only 1 “family recipe” that has been passed down that I am aware of, it is a sausage casserole and was my 2nd great grandmothers. It has been written about before so I’m not going to re-do it.

Over the years things have been changed on the recipe and things removed or added, but back in the late 1800’s it would have been a lovely meal for the farmers and tin/iron workers of the family. My own children all like it and it is nice on a cold day.

Week 9 (February 26th -March 3rd ): Disaster

Image
From Amy Johnson Crow - Our ancestors were no strangers to hardship and loss. We should remember those stories as much as we remember the stories of triumph. Our ancestors faced any number of disasters — natural, personal, financial. Perhaps you've had a disaster in your research. How did they (or you) overcome it? (Or maybe they didn't?) Where I thought last week’s theme was hard this weeks has been even harder. I honestly couldn’t think of any “ disaster ” linked to any of my family. Yes, I had Irish ancestors but none that I could link to the potato famine, I haven’t found any that were on sinking ships like the Titanic, no bankruptcy that I knew of and I was very close to saying “this theme is a “ disaster ” as I can’t do it.” Then as I was really losing all hope of being able to do a good story, I received a “ hint ” on ancestry linked to a distant relative – the husband of my 3 rd Great Aunt, George Cousins to be precise. Now I know not all ancestry “ hints” are ...

52 ancestors Week 20 (May 13th -19th ): Travel

Week 20 (May 13 th -19 th ): Travel From Amy Johnson Crow - "Travel" is a part of many of our ancestors' lives. Travelling across an ocean or a continent for life in a new land. Travelling to a different state to elope. Travelling for work, either as a salesman or working the railroads or canals. Travelling for vacation. What ancestral travel tales have you found? I have many ancestors that “ travelled ” for work and to move to new places to live, but I don’t have much information on them or any photos so the story could be very short (and boring). However, my Great Uncle “Fred” Arthur Wood was in the Royal Navy and “ travelled ” with them, and I have photos of him. We had been told Fred was known as Arthur (it may have been his middle name but I have found no record of this) and this alone caused me no end of problems. I spent a long time searching for records linked to “Arthur Wood” and buying certificates linked to this name to find he wasn’t my ancest...
