If you are of PD heritage, this IS about genealogy. This list is very diversified, and your ancestors used these terms, and ate these foods.. isn't it rather interestiing to learn more than just the "names and dates" of the preceding generations? After all, this was a strong group of folks, and many of the old traditions and foods survive to this generation, and, I believe, will survive for many more. I hope that this list never changes; I have learned more about my ancestors than just their names... provided here is a glimpse into how they survived from day to day, and how 'tough' they were! Hope that you can learn to adapt the information that's shared here into a more knowledgable history of your own family, and .... lighten up!
