Happy Thanksgiving!

I'm making my mother's cornbread stuffing for Thanksgiving dinner. It is likely a recipe passed down from my Mam-ma. Of course, I'll be cutting this recipe in quarters, as I'll just bake it in a casserole. This is my favorite part of Thanksgiving dinner.

Mam-ma and Tom-Tom Gone Fishing!

I have fond memories of eating catfish my grandfather caught, likely at Clear Lake where they had a cabin in the town of Nice. Mam-ma always prepared the fish by rolling them in cornmeal and egg and frying them. Oh, so delicious! Now, I have never been fishing, so I don’t know much about how to catch catfish, what bait to use, or where the best place to find them at Clear Lake. I never asked my grandfather about how he fished. He may have fished from a boat. However, I found a website that gives tips on fishing at Clear Lake. [1] Besides catfish, largemouth and smallmouth bass, white and black crappie, bluegill and sunfish, and perch can be found in the lake. I learned that catfish prefer warmer coves but are also found near marinas. Live bait, cut bait, or dough bait can be used and some of the best baits are chicken livers, hotdogs, anchovies, mackerel or sardines, and even night crawlers. In this photo, we can see he had a successful day of fishing. This is taken at their hom

Last One Standing: Reginald F. Lancaster

It is important to document the lives of those who left no descendants. I have been researching and writing as much as I can about family members who either never married or who married but had no children. They have no descendants who will do the research or even take DNA tests. But they will not be forgotten. Reginald F. Lancaster, my second great-uncle, was the son of George Wilson Lancaster and Martha Jane Polly. He was born 22 July 1887 in Phoenix, Maricopa, Arizona, the fifth child of six. [1] His parents divorced when he was five. [2] His father moved back to Texas and Reggie probably never saw his father again. Reggie’s mother married Noah Flood Parks in 1893 and he grew up with two younger half-sisters. Sometime in the early 1900s, the family moved to Imperial County, California, to do farming. When Reggie registered for the draft, he was working at ranching. At age 29, he was of medium height and weight and had blue eyes and brown hair. He was still single. [3] I have

4th Anniversary!

Image
I have been busy in Salt Lake City this week attending a course called "From Confusion to Conclusion," given by Harold Henderson and Kimberly Powell. It's a course about writing proof summaries and proof arguments. It's been a great class so far with lots of in-class exercises and discussions. I nearly forgot about the anniversary of this blog until I saw Dick Eastman's post on his 19 year anniversary. I remembered our anniversaries were on the same day! I've been lax in writing in this blog on my grandmother's family but plan to write about the Lancaster Family soon. I'm currently doing some land research and will write something soon.
