Has anyone found an ancestor in a church or woman's group cookbook? I'm always looking at thrift and antique stores. #genchat

I mainly research Michigan tribes. Land allotment started here in the 1850s.

Icebreaker #genchat Since I do Native American research, where there are often no surnames, so probate is often the only way to connect families.
