Genealogy
tip for the day: SHORTIE TIP – College Catalogs
Did your ancestor attend college? Sometimes
old college catalogs also had a roster listing students. You might find your
ancestor’s name listed if he or she attended that year. Catalogs were usually
updated frequently.
Look in the area where that person lived to find
schools. If you know where a parent or sibling went, that could also be a
possibility for their attendance as well. If you can’t find one locally, look
at other places of residences and see if that leads you to any schools.
Don’t forget about trade schools, too. Colleges
aren't the only place people could get training or an education. If they were
in the medical field, try to find a teaching hospital. Vocational schools and
tech schools give you other options as well.
Think about the historical context. Community
colleges were often called junior colleges in the past.
“History is who we
are; Genealogy is who I am” sg
“Genealogy is
personalized history.”

Today’s
Recipe
March -
Breakfast Foods
4-5 slices of bread (I used an Italian loaf)
4 eggs
2 tablespoons cream (I used half and half)
1/2 teaspoon vanilla extract
a generous sprinkle of cinnamon
Mix together the eggs, cream, vanilla and cinnamon in a shallow dish. Slice the bread into sticks. Coat each pieces in the egg mixture and place on a prepared baking sheet. (You can line with aluminum foil). You could also grease the baking sheet with a little oil or butter. Don't use parchment paper.
Now sprinkle a little cinnamon sugar over each stick. Bake under the broiler for 2-3 minutes. KEEP AN EYE ON IT. Not all broilers were created equal, so watch yours and adjust the bake time. What we are aiming for is for the eggs to cook but also for the sugar to caramelize on top. Think creme brulee.
After
2-3 minutes remove the sticks from the oven, flip and sprinkle on a little more
cinnamon sugar. Bake for an additional 2-3 minutes. Now you're ready to serve.
These are totally dippable.
