You can read The History of the original town of Concord by Briggs on line at ancestry.com. They have all 741 pages of it including biographical sketches. This is where I found my clue to where in England my Prior clan originated. Even though the text said they came from Backs Hill in England and it took me months to figure out they meant Bexhill...it was just the clue I needed to open up my whole Prior family back to 1560. Do check this book out if you have Concord/Springville ancestors. I believe it has been reprinted by June Zintz more recently and if I recall correctly some other libraries may have it in full text on line.

For anyone who has not yet discovered it, Cornell's "Making of America" database has thousands of pages of books and documents and it is fully searchable. The book mention is here as well as one I get lots of requests for: Erasmus Briggs "History of the Town of Concord" as well as lots of others. --------------------------------- Be a better friend, newshound, and know-it-all with Yahoo!

If you're longing for some of those old memories, read TOO CLOSE TO THE FALLS by Catherine Gildiner. Set in the mid 50's in Lewiston, New York, a small town near Niagara Falls. It's a great read with lots of memories for those of us who grew up in the area. Enjoy, Marilyn

This sure is a friendly list and it has been for years. Over the years I have made many friends here and even met distant cousins. A few years ago, I even met an friend of mine from elementary school! Sorry I can't join you all for Beef on Weck, but if you want Beef on Weck with sunshine and warm weather, we have a Buffalo restaurant, Nickel City, out in Pinellas Park, Florida a few miles north of where I live. I love the way the horse radish opens up my sinuses. Perhaps that is why my dad always ate horseradish when we lived in Buffalo.

Grace, About the furniture. I'm almost positive that when my Montroys came from Saginaw, Michigan to Buffalo they brought their furniture as I have a photo of them living in a large (very large) tent and the furniture is in the background. My Montroys were in the furniture business in Saginaw. I asked (NYERIE) how they would do this during the 1890's. I was told they brought the furniture in wagons or boats when crossing water. I'd be happy to hear more in put about people traveling during that time period. Ruth At 09:53 AM 2/7/2008 -0500, you wrote: >Ruth - > >I have wondered the same thing.

And what about Chiavetta Chicken. The best chicken barbeque.. You can always find Chiavetta Chicken at most church picnics, the Erie County Fair, private parties, etc. etc. There is also a Chiavetta sauce sold in Wegmans and Tops supermarkets in Western New York. The Chiavetta clan is from the Brant/Angola area, south of Buffalo. The family still lives there. Angela C. Bufffalo, New York and Largo, Florida

Ruth - I have wondered the same thing. My grandfather left Avon in Livingston Co., went to PA then to several cities in MI from the 1870s through the early 1900s. No U-Hauls, moving companies, etc. Did they just leave their furniture when they left one place for another?? You're right - we've been spoiled.

I've been following this thread about the beef on Weck, chicken wings, weather, etc., and wonder why no one mentioned Paczkis eating on Fat Tuesday, the day before Ash Wednesday.

As one of the guilty parties, I apologize for veering off topic. Those who want to continue reminiscing about food are welcome at the Buffalo History list, where this is indeed on topic. http://groups.yahoo.com/group/BuffaloHistory/ Getting back on topic, I just wanted to let people know that you can now do your own copying from microfilm at the Buffalo & Erie County Historical Society Library. There are 5 machines: 3 microfilm read-only and 2 reader-printers. It used to be that you gave your film to the staff with a paper slip indicating what you wanted copied. Copies are $.25 each, pay the librarians on the honor system before you leave. No credit or refunds unless the machine malfunctions. Use of the reader-printers is limited to 15 minutes when others are waiting.

I have been reading the Beef on Weck all week. I grew up in Buffalo and now live in St. Louis, my husband thought I was crazy until I got him to go up there and taste it. We haven't been there in a few years but he still talks about it. I might try this recipe. I am researching Buchheit, Daniel, Daigler, Kreigbaum and a number of other names from the Williamsville area. Maybe I can help some of you and you me.

A few years ago, a friend from high school who now works professionally as a cook doing stuff on PBS, was kind enough to send me this recipe: --------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Charlie the Butcher's Kümmelweck Rolls Beef on Weck starts with a kümmelweck roll, made only in Western New York State. Thanks to Charlie the Butcher, who developed the recipe below, you can now make the requisite roll no matter where you live. 2 ounces coarse salt 2 ounces whole caraway seed 2 tablespoons warm water 1 teaspoon cornstarch ¼ cup boiling water 12 fresh Kaiser or hard rolls In a small bowl, combine coarse salt and caraway seed and set aside or store in a clean dry jar. In a small saucepan, dissolve cornstarch in warm water. Stir in the boiling water. Bring to a boil, and cook until mixture thickens enough to coat a spoon. Cool and store, covered, in the refrigerator if not using right away. Preheat oven to 350°. Place Kaiser or hard rolls on a baking sheet. Brush tops of rolls with cornstarch mixture. Sprinkle each roll with an equal amount of caraway seed and salt mixture. Place rolls in the oven for about 4 minutes or just long enough for the caraway to dry. Remove from oven and use immediately to make beef on weck. Yield: 12 rolls. Roast Beef for Beef on Weck Flo Piedja of Freedom, New York, prepares roast beef that would please anyone from Buffalo, and the following recipe is based on her traditional method. 1 5-pound top round of beef roast Ground black pepper Garlic powder Celery salt Quick beef gravy: 3 14-ounce cans quality beef broth ½ cup cold water ½ cup cornstarch Browning sauce, such as Kitchen Bouquet Salt and ground black pepper, to taste Preheat oven to 450°. Sprinkle the roast with pepper, garlic powder, and celery salt to taste, covering all sides. Place the roast on a rack in a baking pan and roast, uncovered, until the outside becomes brown and crispy, about 45 minutes to 1 hour. Reduce oven temperature to 325°, and continue roasting until the desired degree of doneness is reached by testing with a meat thermometer. For rare, it will take about 12 minutes per pound to reach a temperature of 120°, and for medium, it will take about 15 minutes per pound to reach a temperature of 140°. While beef is roasting, prepare the gravy. In a medium saucepan, place 2 cans of the beef broth and bring broth to a boil. In a jar or salad dressing mixer, combine the cold water and the cornstarch, shaking it well. Gradually whisk the cornstarch mixture into the boiling broth, reduce heat to medium, and let the gravy simmer for 5 minutes. Stir in enough browning sauce to give the gravy a rich, deep brown color, and season to taste with salt and pepper. Cover and set aside. When the roast is done, remove it from the oven and let it rest for 5 to 10 minutes. Reheat the gravy over medium heat, whisking in any drippings from the roast and additional beef broth to reach the desired thickness. Slice the beef very thin. Slice rolls in half horizontally. PLace sliced beef on the bottom of the roll. Dip the tops in the gravy just to coat the inside of the roll, place atop the beef, and serve with pelnty of horseradish. _______________________________________________ Carol Goodson, Head Library Access Services & Instructional Services UNIVERSITY OF WEST GEORGIA 1601 Maple Street Carrollton GA 30118 Voice: (678) 839-6507 | Fax: (678) 839-6509 email: [email protected] http://www.westga.edu/~cgoodson/ http://www.myspace.com/the_librarian ________________________________________________ ------------------------------- To unsubscribe from the list, please send an email to [email protected] with the word 'unsubscribe' without the quotes in the subject and the body of the message ------------------------------- To unsubscribe from the list, please send an email to [email protected] with the word 'unsubscribe' without the quotes in the subject and the body of the message

I've said this before but this list is a real education. The help people give and the info and websites that you can pickup reading this list along with a geography lesson etc etc. The last hundred e-mails about food and weather and taverns was off topic but it does give you a flavor of the area your ancestors lived in. I mentioned Dyngus day and someone had a ? mark. Dyngus Day is a Polish tradition celebrated Monday after Easter and big in Buffalo area (Google it) When I lived out of this area and someone would say they were Polish; I'd put them to the test by asking them how they celebrate Dyngus Day and what they thought about Czarnina. If I drew a blank look; I knew they had lost their Polish traditions which is too bad. I happened to be German on all sides but grew up in Cheektowaga which was mostly Polish.
