One of my paternal uncles wrote letters home from WWll that contained tons of family connections. In contrast, only have one letter from my dad. #genchat

Condolence books from the funerals are also helpful. #genchat

I find collateral relatives, often those with no children, have led interesting and varied lives that help round out the family story. #genchat

We used to make our own pizza, too. It was cheaper/ more available than store bought. #genchat

I have a bread recipe that goes back to my my Italian great grandmother’s sister…early 1900s. #genchat

Favorite desserts for me: my grandmother’s brownies and heavily-liquored rum balls. Yum! #genchat

She used meat and cheese. But my sister once made the recipe with eggplant in place of pasta. #genchat

My ancestors Americanized, but here and there ethnic foods slipped through. #genchat

Greetings all! My mom (half Italian) use to make bouillabaisse on Christmas Eve. Always thought of it as a French recipe, but learned Italians made meatless dishes as well on that night. #genchat

A1. Skeletons in the closet for sure. Always need to bear in mind whether it’s your story to tell or someone else else’s. #genchat
