Product Description
by Samuel Youmans (Author)
Does the smell of fresh baked bread in the bakery ever remind you of your Grandmother's homemade bread? The bread you remember from childhood. Certain foods and aromas seem to take us back to a time that we remember fondly and happily. It is for this reason, that family food, traditions and the culture of our times are an important part of family history. Just as old family photos are valued, so should be old family recipes and traditions. Also, it is impossible to separate our ancestors from the time and world in which they lived. Our family history is not separate and apart from what is happening in the country. This is all part of their history, and ours. Both histories should be recognized. An area of family history that is not sufficiently studied is the impact of food, culture and family traditions on the lives of our ancestors. If you want to understand and appreciate your ancestors, this is the key. What was their world like? These traditions, foods and recipes, and culture are shaped within our family structure. This book will help you better understand your ancestors and provide a guide for future generations
