SNGF - Come Sunday Morning

Okay... so I went to the theatre last evening, and I missed the Saturday Night Genealogy Fun with Randy Seaver over at GeneaMusings. Not to be outdone... I'm providing my SNGF on Sunday morning!

Here's this weeks challenge:

Your mission, should you decide to accept it, is to:

1) List your matrilineal line - your mother, her mother, etc. back to the first identifiable mother. Note: this line is how your mitochondrial DNA was passed to you!

2) Tell us if you have had your mitochondrial DNA tested, and if so, which Haplogroup you are in.

3) Post your responses on your own blog post, in Comments to this blog post, or in a Status line on Facebook or in your Stream at Google Plus.

4) If you have done this before, please do your father's matrilineal line, or your grandfather's matrilineal line, or your spouse's matrilineal line.

5) Does this list spur you to find distant cousins that might share one of your matrilineal lines? 
1] I cannot remember if I have done a matrilineal line here on this blog or not. So, let's do one.

a) Cynthia Beane

b) Lois Velleda Dreher

c) Irene Caroline Banet [1906 Indiana - 1989 West Virginia] married Henry C. Dreher, Jr.

d) Adeline Josephine Eve [1867 Indiana - 1958 Indiana] married Francis Isidore Banet

e) Annette DuBois [1840 Indiana - 1870 Indiana] married Joseph Eve

f) Magdelena Houin [b. 1821 France - d. Indiana] married Nicolas DuBois



2] I have not had my mitochondrial DNA tested.

This is always fun to look at! Thanks Randy, for another great challenge!

Family Recipe Friday - Grandma's Custard

When I was 5 years old my Grandma Bean came to live with us. She was a quiet woman. Tall. Quite slender by then, although I have seen pictures of when she was a rather large woman.

She taught me to find dandelion greens and make wilted greens. “They’re good for your blood,” she would tell me.

She made me creamed eggs once, which I absolutely hated as I recall. I told her I didn’t like eggs and milk together at all! But then, she made the most absolute wonderful thing from eggs and milk I had ever eaten.

Baked custard.

I usually reserve making this until the fall of the year. And I love having it for Christmas breakfast. However, whenever I make it, I can almost feel my Grandma near. There is never a time when I smell the scent of nutmeg that I don’t first think of Grandma Bean.

She’s been gone 37 years now. And it only takes making this simple dish to bring her right back here with me.

Thank you, Grandma.

Ingredients:

4 eggs
1/2 cup granulated sugar
2 teaspoons pure vanilla extract
1/4 teaspoon salt (optional)
3 cups milk, heated until very hot
Ground nutmeg or ground cinnamon for garnish, optional


Preparation:

Preheat oven to 350 degrees F. Adjust oven rack to center position. Lightly butter (or use non-fat vegetable spray) six (6-ounce) custard cups and set them into a large baking dish. If cooking custards in a metal pan, cover the bottom of the pan with a layer of newspaper to ensure an even temperature on the bottom.

In a large bowl, beat eggs slightly; add sugar, vanilla extract, and salt and beat until dissolved. Mix in hot milk until blended. Pour egg mixture into prepared custard cups. Sprinkle with nutmeg or cinnamon.

Bring the water for the water bath to a light simmer on top of the stove; carefully pour hot water into the baking pan to come half-way up the sides of the custard cups. [NOTE: The most common mistake people make in baking a custard is not putting enough water in the hot-water bath. The water should come up to the level of the custard inside the cups. You must protect your custard from the heat. Carefully pour hot water into the baking pan to come halfway up the sides of the custard cups.

Bake 25 to 30 minutes or until set around the edges but still loose in the center. The cooking time will depend largely on the size of the custard cup you are using, but begin checking at 20 minutes and check back regularly. When the center of the custard is just set, it will jiggle a little when shaken, that's when you can remove it from the oven. Remove from oven and immediately remove cups from water bath; cool on wire rack until room temperature. Cover with plastic wrap, and refrigerate at least 2 hours or up to 2 days.

Makes 6 servings (depending on size of custard cups).

Sentimental Sunday - Grandma's Featherbed

52 Weeks of Abundant Genealogy - Week #39

Week #39 - Society Journal or Quarterly

Week 39: Society Journal or Quarterly. Share with us your favorite genealogy society journal or quarterly publication. How long have you been reading it? Which group publishes it? Why is this publication one of your favorites? How has is helped you research your family history?

Forscribed to several journals, but have fallen back to just the West Virginia Historical Society journal, which publishes quarterly. I have been reading this for about 10 years. All other publications read online.

This is my favorite printed journal as it actually covers history of the state where I do most of my research [personal research that is]. I love that it covers not just genealogy related items of interest, but focuses more on historical, and history is something I dearly love! So, I am constantly learning new and exciting things about my home state!

SNGF - Your Family and Genealogy

Another great Saturday Night Genealogy Fun challenge from Randy over at GeneaMusings:

"For this week's mission (should you decide to accept it), I want you to:

1) Tell us how your family members (parents, children, grandchildren, spouse, siblings, cousins, aunts/uncles, etc.) react to your genealogy addict er, hobb, er, interests! Do they accept it, cooperate with you, listen to your experiences and accomplishments, or not?

2) Do you have any funny stories about your family members' interest in or with genealogy? Tell us!"

Wow, Randy! This could potentially open a can of worms in my family! [Tee-hee]

My husband, bless his little ol’ pea-picking heart… he loves me enough to let me puruse whatever my heart desires. And he knows that when I “get on a research roll” I may be seated at my desk for many, many hours at a time. [I’ve been known more than once to pull an “all-nighter”.]

So what, you say?

Well, he’s more than tolerant. You see, my desk sits in a corner of the bedroom where we sleep! I usually operate with the ceiling light on…once he goes to bed, I drop down to just the desk lamp. I do declare… this is true love and sacrifice!

When I go cemetery hunting, he is there by my side.

He’ll even help in lugging around my equipment and cameras!

And he praises me loudly when I find something new for his family tree and genealogy. But he would rather I do the leg-work, and simply hand him the final report. Nice and neat.

My parents love it that I do the research! Each week when I wend my way over to visit them, the first thing my Dad asks is “What have you been working on lately?”

Every time I find something new, I bring them a copy. Document; photograph; story; etc.

My siblings…my sister has some interest. So long as I don’t include things regarding her in my blog… she’s keen on learning more about our ancestors. However, when I start talking about great-aunts, great-uncles, and such…the interest wanes. Neither of my brothers show any interest whatsoever. It takes a huge act to get either of them to attend a family reunion [we hold then biennially].

I have no nieces or nephews who are interested.

To date… none of my children appear to have any interest. Although they don’t mind listening to me tell about our ancestors. And want copies of what I’ve done to date on their ancestors. But none are interested in doing any research for themselves.

The grandchildren? The oldest shows no interest yet, and the youngest are too young. But I have plans!!! [Tee-hee] Oh yes… I have plans!

Funny stories? Well, probably many if I stop to think about it, but the funniest that comes to mind is a cousin who a few years ago was “assisting” me by telling me important dates and names in her immediate family. When out of the blue, she looks me straight in the eye and announces, “You know that our family name is spelled B-E-A-N-E, and wherever you got this stuff about it being spelled any other way is just wrong! It’s just wrong to say it was ever spelled any other way!” [This from a cousin who actually knew our grandfather personally – he died 5 years before my birth – and knew that he spelled his name without the ‘e’ on the end. Simply B-E-A-N.]

When I told her I could show her documents that the name originated without the “e”, she went on to inform me that they must be false documents. This she did in a spiteful, loud, superior voice, to try to make me look less than what I am in front of many family members.

Two years later I presented her with a copy of her mother’s birth certificate. [Naughty me…I did this in the presence of several family members.] And there, with absolute horror on her face, she found her mother was given the surname “B-E-A-N”. She was missing that haughty little “e”.

Family Recipe Friday - Eggplant Parmesan

Eggplant Parmesan

 

When I was growing up, Mama never fixed eggplant any way except for fried. When I was a late teen, she discovered a really rich, cheesy eggplant casserole [you tasted cream and cheese more than eggplant! The flavor of the eggplant was totally lost.]

Regardless of Mama’s efforts, I loved eggplant. Fried or in the casserole.

But in my adult years, I came to yearn for more recipes with eggplant; especially since I can no longer eat meats. So what’s a girl to do?

Here’s my take on eggplant parmesan; and I have to say…my family loves it.

Ingredients:

1 medium, firm eggplant

1 medium jar pasta sauce [I like Ragu Chunky™]; divide into thirds.

1 container grated parmesan cheese

1 egg, beaten

1 cup panko crumbs

Non-stick cooking spray

Salt

Preparation:

1] Peel eggplant. Slice in rounds and place in colander over a bowl. Lightly salt and allow to set over the bowl for 1-hour. [This allows the “bitterness” to drain from the flesh.]

2] Pre-heat oven to 425-degrees.

3] After 1-hour, rinse eggplant and pat dry with paper toweling or clean tea towel.

4] Dip eggplant slices in egg, then roll in panko crumbs. Spray baking pan with non-stick cooking spray and place eggplant slices on baking pan and bake for approximately 20-minutes or until tender.

5] In a second baking pan, spray bottom of pan with cooking spray. Place a thin layer of pasta sauce in pan. Then place a single layer of eggplant .  Cover with pasta sauce. Place a second layer of eggplant. Cover with remaining pasta sauce, and a layer of the parmesan cheese [use according to your taste].

6] Place pan in 425-degree oven and bake approximately 20-minutes, or until cheese has melted and just begins to darken on edges.

***I have added a layer of Portobello mushrooms to this dish as well.
