Cris..........I was reading and collecting some great links to sites for Irish genelaogy, and after I had a list of about six...........I accidentally went off without sending them!!!!!! Boo! They were old newspapers from Ireland from about 1831 to 1880, describing the plight of the Irish people plus a couple that had links to all sorts of records, many village baptisms, marriages etc. I was looking for my "client", but thought of you and the others who are of Irish descent on the list. Now I have to go search for them again. Darn! The newspaper articles especially, were very poignant.

Tom..........you did have me going there in the beginning lol But, once I saw what you were talking about, I have to say I did love my Morels and picked many myself back in the day. We strung them up to dry in the washhouse (buda) I loved them in gravy. About ten years ago, we were up near Monterey Ca for an anniversary party. The "groom" was from Ne, and one of his daughters surprised him with a couple of pounds of Morels.......at $48 a lb. He could not believe it. Neither could we.

Thanks so much for thinking of me Kathy. Im hoping to find the church that my Langan's were baptized .. I was going to keep this a secret just in case it doesn't happen...don't want to jinx it! LOL But list Im getting married at the end of May :) and my future step-daughter wants to send Bob and I to Ireland for our honeymoon! I've really been trying but naturally hit one brick wall after another. I know the the dates the children were all baptized and that they lived in Askeaton Ireland but that's all I've been able to find so far..I don't want to go to Ireland and not know where they lived and the cemetery that Catherine Langan is buried in. Any thoughts on how I might find that Kathy?

Howdydo to the list - There were moments of delight experienced by our ancestral immigrants, especially cherished I would think, in a world otherwise filled with blood, sweat, and tears. One of, or perhaps THE premier delight in the Columbus area, today would cost (if purchased) upwards to $360 a pound dried with spot sales noted of 2 ounces for $19.95 and 4 ounces at $25 at eBay. When reconstituted with milk, chicken, beef broth, or water, 1 ounce then becomes 1 pound. No - not "weed" (chuckle). Another hint ~ the Internet is loaded with factual information to include recipes from Nebraska, even at the cultural level, I.e., Polish, Irish, and Czech. Included are places that will buy "extras" from you at premium prices. Today it's Green - falling into the ORGANIC category and it's free - just go pick them up, a worthwhile effort for our youth of today : Extra money for school or otherwise. Excellent experience for grandkids who have sharp eyesight, are closer to the ground (smile) with quick little hands. An excellent Family outing for all !! So, whatizit ?? Why, it's the lowly Morel Mushroom !! (applause) - The Morel (Sponge) mushroom grows almost anywhere in Nebraska but are specially productive in bottomlands near water. Especially desirable are those past burned areas where the mycelia (roots) of the mushroom feed on the abundance of nutrition produced by the burn. Alas and alak !! Such a delicacy is unavailable to me here in Alabama - red dirt does not sustain the fungus, however, I have had some experience with them in Alaska where summer burns always produced good crops for several years after. One had to be wary of course, lots of very big critters out there looking for food as well (shudder). Alaska Morels are smaller than those of the Midwest US. We would pick the mushrooms as long as the area produced, taking them home, cleaned them, then soaking them overnight in salt water to drive out the itty bitty critters lurking therein, washed them again, then prepared for the drying process. I bought small-mesh nylon netting (at Walmart today for about $6.50) which is reused for years, stretched out and tied with a Southern exposure, about 4 feet off the ground, bracing the bottom with cross-connects of nylon rope so the mushrooms won't bunch in the middle. The 'shrooms are then spread out evenly on the netting to dry. For me it took about 2 weeks, and most importantly, the Morels had to be turned daily to speed drying time. I had some thoughts about bugs bothering the Morels as they dried, but found that it wasn't a problem. Apparently, drying mushrooms are of no interest to insects. I did have to protect from rain though, so I made the netting a bit smaller than the nylon tarp I used to cover the arrangement and it worked well. During processing, I had 3 drying beds available which served well based on the amount of mushrooms I found. When the mushrooms were dried, I put them in 1 to 2 gallon glass jars that I would get free from restaurants who would otherwise throw them away. They were empty mayonnaise, mustard, ketchup, and pickle jars. Then I stored the filled mushroom jars in a cool place - no expiration that I know of. I used this same process for excess Meadow mushrooms, which wasn't often, and it worked well. In Alaska, the Meadow mushroom grows horizontally first, then vertically for about an hour when it's immediately attacked by small white flies that lay eggs. Another hour passes and the larva permeate, useless for eating, so there is a very small time period available for harvest. Additionally, each Meadow pops up independently, so it's a continuous, but very small harvest at any given, specific time period. The biggest Meadow I ever found weighed 4.5 pounds !! Other 'shrooms available to me in Alaska, that I was aware of, was the Brain mushroom (very rare), Shaggy Mane (most predominate), and the Fried Chicken mushroom which I did not pick because of the similarity to a poisonous variety. TIP ~ Mr. Tom's mushroom reconstitution : take out your pressure cooker. Find a plastic bowl that just fits inside the pressure cooker. Into the bowl, put in mushrooms and liquid remembering that approximately 1 ounce of dried mushrooms by weight equals about 1 pound of finished product. Excess liquid is ok but too little is not good. Do NOT put the pressure cooker on the stove - no cooking !! Put the lid on. I have a "Sealing Unit" that provides a vacuum option so I hook up 2 feet of aquarium tube from the sealing unit to the little pressure escape hole on the lid of the pressure cooker, the connection that the pressure regulator sits on that wobbles back and forth. I turn on the sealer and it sucks air out of the pressure cooker. At a certain vacuum, the sealer bogs a little, telling me that maximum vacuum is reached (don't know the exact meter reading). Then I shut the sealer off And with a small pair of vice grips (lockable pliers) I crimp the tubing. The System will equalize throughout the inside of the pressure cooker causing the liquid to rush into the dried mushroom after it softens. After about an hour, take the tube clamp off and disconnect it from the pressure cooker. Open the lid and examine. Here, experience will regulate your action, I.e., more liquid, a repeat of the process, etc. An added bonus : this process will provide the best saturation for steaks. Just add your favorite marinade into the bowl with the steaks and process it in the vacuum. Note : If you don't have one of these sealing units, either send hubby or go to Walmart and buy either a cheap aquarium pump or preferably a very small and cheap tire inflating unit that operates on 115VAC. Also, buy 1 complete tire valve unit which includes the housing (the part you see when you put air into your cars tire. At home, use duct tape to seal the pump air intake to include incorporating the tire valve unit therein, then remove the valve stem. Viola !! It'll last for years. The End - Tomasz

We thought that the 1840-50 period was the worst, but apparently it didn't end there for the famine and poor people of Ireland. No wonder they left.

Shirley.........I am glad you didn't take my rambling wrong! I agree with you on the obsession and yet the good thing about genealogy. And, believe me, I would not be able to do any better than the people who already do it. Which brings to mind the story I told awhile back about my friend seeing a word on a ships list and among about 10 of us in the library, none could translate for identify it. Turns out it (acq) was short for acquaintance....... and we all slapped our heads. Deb......I'm sorry but I started giggling at your post. I was picturing some newbie reading it and when I got to the farchin and marchin I just LMBO. You guys are the best, and honestly, I have to say again, I'll bet we have one of the best and most active county sites in the country. And for us of Polish ancestry, we are lucky to have a few people who seem to have the entire of our families documented. Or know where they are. :) I also enjoyed the story about the longjohns!

Received the following link from a second cousin - seems to work pretty well - give it a try _http://mocavo.com_ (http://mocavo.com/)

Shirley..........God bless you for your ongoing projects!!! I know it sounded like I was being critical of whoever is transcribing but actually I wasn't. After reading the census and other images on the film for so many years (especially the church records) it is a wonder that people can decipher a decent amount. The handwriting and spelling (example the Nebraska 1885 census) are enough to blow your mind, but I am not even blaming the census takers. It must have been awful to try to figure out what people were telling them. At the Los Angeles Family History Library, I am getting used to a new staff again after the remodel, but my experience there, after going for 15 years is, that many of them come in not knowing much about doing genealogy themselves. They have to take classes, and have mainly done their own genealogy to start, but I find that most are not even as far along as the rest of us patrons there. Time may be a factor. They are mostly church members.........we don't get alot of volunteers.....because they house them next door, where they have a couple of apartment buildings. Some park their RV's and 5th wheelers in the lot. This bunch seems to be alot better than other years, as far as technology. I rarely ask them for things tho, because I have developed my own way of doing research and am ahead of them anyway. We have a guy who does paid genealogy but knows squat about ship manifests. I am glad I did things when I did, because my eyesight is not great anymore, and I can't sit a! s long. Anyway, I just wanted you to know that you are probably waaaaaay ahead of most anyway, given all of the cemeteries etc along with the other stuff. So they should treasure you!!!!!!

Have to correct something. On the last post, I said that someone was missing from the family list, but I was wrong. I was thinking of an image I had looked at previously. I had to go back and check to make sure, but he was there. There is already drama over this person. Don't need more.

To the list: I don't know if I mentioned this before, but the FHL site has a new format, which I do not care for.......as I hate Ancestrys new format too.......but, https://familysearch.org/ has started showing some images of the actual census. Its hit and miss, as they probably have just started, but on the page is the info from the image. Interesting about names. On the 1910 census for my Podgurski family, half the family is listed as Podgurski, the other half, Podziski. Did a new transcriber come on board halfway? lol On the 1920, the family is Podguiski. I don't remember this mixup from the first images I saw back when they first put them online on Ancestry. It means you have to be prepared. Also, I just noticed that someone is missing?????? Whoa....how did I not see that before. No...that person didn't die, and I know this because I stayed with him when I came to California to college!!!! Hmmm I have really been non observant on that......and where was he? KathyB ____________________________________________________________ Groupon&#8482 Official Site 1 ridiculously huge coupon a day.

Kathy, I didn't think you were being critical at all, at least it didn't sound that way to me. I know how frustrating this can all be and I just wanted to add how I think it might have happened. With my keying and then becoming an arbitrator, I find many who are very careful about what they type and then there are others that look like they are just beginners or they didn't really read the instructions. I found in Ancestry that they were doing it for the numbers with not that much thought about accuracy. I do this as well as other projects because I can and because being on the computer is my therapy for keeping my santity after retirement and not lose my mind to the big "A" or become a couch potato. When I first retired, I was asked to volunteer at the hospital but I don't do well in hospitals. So, Charlotte was my savior and got me started in the Kin Seekers and there it all began. I get so much enjoyment and satisfaction when I can help others with their research. Doesn't hurt that I find some answers to the falling leaves on my tree too. As you all know, genealogy does become an obsession but at least it is a good one that keeps us thinking and most don't give up. Just want to be able to help.
