Vertical File
This page is
equivalent to a library's hanging file - one of those
"must-see-just-because" pages. It's going to contain
everything else that can't be slotted into one of the site's
other pages. The subject may not have anything to do with
Gogebic County, let alone genealogy; although I must admit
it will always LEAN in that direction at least in a small
way.
Pasty recipe - Pronounced
"pass-tee." This is a hearty and hot,
hand-held, "no
dish,"
all-in-one meal that the miners of the U.P. carried into the
copper and iron mines along with their tea. Some miners
reheated their pasties underground; others kept them at body
temperature in a chest pocket. Another way of warming a
pasty while underground in a mine was to set it on a shovel
and hold the pasty up to the light of a lantern. Brought to
you from the 1850s by our ancestors from Cornwall, England!
Definitions of some diseases or causes of
death - Got an ancestor on whose death certificate has some
weird-named cause of death? You just might find out what it
means on the list of diseases here.
