Genealogy
tip for the day: SHORTIE TIP – Birth Certificate Woes
Are you having trouble finding a birth certificate
or even a baptismal record for you ancestor? Here are some suggestions:
-Order the next closest sibling
-Check the last or next census
-Check for variants in first name, or for nicknames
and diminutives.
Sometimes
a person’s official name may be Billie, not William
-Note the time period you are researching. Birth
certificates, per se’ didn’t become established until after 1900 and as late as
in the 1920’s. Check Everton’s Handybook or The Red Book for a listing per
state.
When you find a sibling record, check for:
-Current residence
-Current state
-Spelling of the family name
These and other bits of information on the
certificate may give you new clues in finding the one you want.

Roman nose
PRONUNCIATION:
(RO-muhn
noz)
MEANING:
noun: A nose having a prominent bridge. Also known as a hook nose or
aquiline nose.
ETYMOLOGY:
From the belief that this type of nose was common among
the Romans.
USAGE:
"The question is: Will Mr. Morales, a strapping
Aymara Indian with a Roman nose, an infectious smile and a shock of long black
hair, catch on as a durable fashion influence?"

A
THOUGHT FOR TODAY:
A city that outdistances man's walking powers is a
trap for man. -Arnold Toynbee, historian (1889-1975)
Today’s
Recipe
March -
Breakfast Foods
(I didn't say they
would be healthy!)
1/2 cup + 3 tablespoons flour
1/4 cup cornstarch
1 tablespoon cocoa
1/2 teaspoon baking soda
1/2 teaspoon salt
1/8 teaspoon espresso powder (optional)
1 1/2 teaspoons sugar
1 cup buttermilk
1/3 cup oil (I used vegetable oil)
1 egg
1/2 teaspoon vanilla extract
1/4 teaspoon red food coloring
In a bowl combine the dry ingredients (the first seven listed above) and whisk to incorporate. Now add in the remaining ingredients and stir until just combined. Allow the batter to rest for 20 minutes. Follow your particular waffle iron directions and make waffles.
Cream Cheese Syrup, makes about 2 1/2 cups
8 oz. cream cheese
3/4 cup cream (I used half and half)
1/4 cup sugar
1/2 teaspoon vanilla extract
In a pot combine the cream cheese, cream and sugar. It helps if you cube the cream cheese into 8 or so small squares. Heat over medium heat until the cream cheese begins to become more liquid. Whisk as you heat to remove any lumps. Once the mixture has become a thick syrup remove from heat and stir in the vanilla. If you want to thin the sauce out even more feel free to add more cream.
You
can drizzle the syrup over the waffles just before serving or you can serve it
in a small cup and dip waffle pieces in!
