A Recipe for Success: Finding Women Through Community Cookbooks with Erin Moulton

WEDNESDAY, FEBRUARY 9, 2022 AT 6:30 PM

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 into further genealogical research. 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. After squeezing every last detail out of our sample texts, we’ll establish research plans to explore our research subjects further. Recipients will receive a few choice vintage recipes as well as a “recipe” for research planning.
Participants are also welcome to bring family recipes to share.
