A Summer Reading Challenge!
As you may or not remember, I participated last year in reading challenge where I had to read five non-fiction books, and I wanted to do so again this year. Until today, I had no idea as to whether or not the challenge was still occurring, but I happened to find the link here. So, stay tuned for this summer's reviews. Enjoy!
Family History Center Visit 9
Earlier today, I stopped by the local Family History Center, and ordered three more microfilms. Two of the mircofilms are indexes: one for the probate records of Huntingdon County, Pennsylvania and the other for the grantees for Huntingdon County's land records. The other microfilm is of church records from the Protestant church in Trippstadt, Germany. I am hoping that these mircofilms of the indexes will help me with my research into my Huntingdon County, Pennsylvania ancestors. Stay tuned for further updates ...

19th Edition of the Carnival of Central and Eastern European Genealogy
Welcome to the May 2009 edition of the Carnival of Central and Eastern European Genealogy. For this edition, submitters had to submit articles that dealt with food. Although this is a small edition, this edition is still an excellent read. Here are this edition's submissions:
First off, we have an article from Evelyn Yvonne Theriault of A Canadian Family. In Carnival of Central and Eastern Genealogy - Traditional Dishes, she writes about a cook book she found in a bookstore, and shares a version of a Russian dish.
Next, we have an article from Greta Koehl of Greta's Genealogy Blog. In A Tribute to Sauerkraut, she writes about one of her favorite foods, and shares a recipe for a sauerkraut dish.
Last, but not least, we have an article from Jessica Oswalt of Jessica's Genejournal. In An Interesting Cook Book, she writes about a cook book that contains recipes of traditional dishes from Central and Eastern Europe.
Well, that is it for this month's edition of the carnival. At the moment, I am waiting for a reply from the host for June's edition, so I do not have any information on the topic for the next edition. I will post an update when I learn more. On another note, I need hosts for at least four editions of the carnival because I will be busy with school work. The months that definitely need hosts are:

At the moment, I do not know if I need a host for August. I should be able to do July, but I do not know about August. If you are interested in hosting, please contact me at jess_history at yahoo dot com. Thanks!
An Interesting Cook Book
I'm a bit late in writing this post due to the fact that I am busy with school work, but I wanted to submit an entry for this upcoming edition of the Carnival of Central and Eastern European Genealogy.
Since this edition's topic is on food, I thought I would mention a little about a cookbook that I own, Russian, German & Polish food & cooking edited by Lesley Chamberlain (London: Hermes House, 2006). This cook book contains recipes of traditional dishes from Central and Eastern European. (Recipes from other countries besides Germany, Poland and Russia are represented as well. The Balkan Peninsula has its own section in the book.) Various types of dishes are represented in this book, from soups to deserts, and the book as gives a little background information on the culture and ingredients typically used in the dishes for the different regions. I have enjoyed looking at the pictures and reading through the book. (Although, I would have liked to share one of the book's recipes, I do not believe I can do so, due to copyright laws.) I hope someone else might enjoy this book as well. Enjoy!
