    1. [TTTP] NY Cookbook
    2. Alice Allen
    3. Yesterday my husband was straightening one of our bookshelves and he found an old cookbook from the Ladies' Debt Aid Society of the First Methodist Episcopal Church in Rome NY, copyright 1913. There's even an ad for Jello (written Jell-O). I didn't know Jello had existed back in 1913. I can start typing up some of the recipes, and include data of possible genealogical interest. There's a ton of Committees, including one for each type of food represented in the cookbook. The Committee people would be of interest. Plus there were some penned in notes by the owner of the cookbook which might be of interest, although her handwriting is difficult to read. She should have been a census taker. This book was part of the stuff I brought home from my genealogy society a couple of years ago, but I'm not sure how it ended up in our bookshelf in the living room when all the rest of the stash is here in the family room, along with my computer, genealogy files, etc. Alice SA for Kansas
