Community and church cookbooks are treasures that give us a glimpse of female groups, encapsulated in a place and time. Besides providing delicious treats, these recipe books can also be a springboard to genealogical adventure. Join Erin as we traipse over recipes for Ghorabie, Pacific Slope Punch, and Maple Creams in search of clues to unlock the stories of our female ancestors. Participants will receive a few choice vintage recipes as well as a “recipe” for research planning.
On Thursday, October 13 at 6:30 PM genealogist and author Erin Moulton will lead participants through three genealogical case studies in “A Recipe for Success: Finding Women through Community Cookbooks”. This program is virtual, and registration is required to receive a link to the presentation.
