Hi all, I think since it has been so very quiet on this 300+ member list that I will share some goodies. I have finally finished transcribing the book "Growing Up With Tulsa" by Blanche Opal Kern Schad---- and though it is not anywhere NEAR Wisconsin, the author, a first cousin of my G-grandpa HARRISON, was married to a GERMAN WISCONSIN man, Erwin SCHAD. I invite you all to take a look at the book and especially the Chapter 12 - Odds & Ends which has some GERMAN family recipes. You may also enjoy Opal's stories as much as I have enjoyed them. This book has been reprinted by permission of Harry Schad, son of the author Blanche Opal Kern Schad. This book was written and self published by Blanche Opal Kern Schad of Tulsa, OK. She was a Harrison descendant and first cousin to my G-grandfather, Herman Harrison who lived in Saunders Co., Nebraska. Opal's mother Emma Justine Harrison and my GG-grandfather Richard Harrison (Cuming Co., NE) were siblings. Emma and her husband Charles Wesley Kern went from Saunders Co., NE to OK Territory in 1893 and settled in Tulsa. Opal & her mother Emma are in the photograph above. This is a story of the family and Opal and her older siblings and later their own families growing up with Tulsa from territorial days to statehood and through 2 World Wars, etc. Opal's son Harry of Tulsa, OK gave me permission to transcribe and put his mother's book online. It is not available, except at the Tulsa library and by Opal's immediate family. Reproduced by Kathie Harrison (Harry's second cousin twice removed). http://freepages.books.rootsweb.com/~irishrose/tulsa/index.html http://freepages.books.rootsweb.com/~irishrose/tulsa/schad1.html http://freepages.books.rootsweb.com/~irishrose/tulsa/odds-ends.htm Remember that you can share GERMAN family recipes on this list or discuss GERMAN family traditions of your GERMAN Wisconsin ancestors. We do allow this along with the genealogy of the GERMAN-WI families. ENJOY!
