Your ContributionsI hope you will contribute some of your own memories and stories about family and extended family members. If you find yourself remembering the time when so-and-so said, or did such-and-such, please write it down and share it with me by calling, writing, emailing, or submitting below. I'm also collecting "sayings" or quotes. We all have said, "My dad always said" or "My grandpa always said" Please add your memories to the collection. Since Sadie died so young the Garlock branch of the family doesn't have any recipes handed down through their father's side. It is never too late to establish traditions. Maybe you have a favorite food or one that you associate with a childhood memory. The only candy I remember my father really liking was my mother's homemade divinity fudge. Maybe you have a traditional food for certain occasions--like we always have baked beans, hot dogs, and pumpkin pie for Halloween. My mother always made popcorn balls for Halloween and Christmas. My Aunt Rosie always makes a fruitcake for Christmas and my sisters do the same. If we all share some of our own family recipes we will find that we have established traditions of our own. You can see the pictures we have. If you have any different ones, and are willing to let us make a copy, please contact me. If you took a nice family photo over the holidays, send me a copy. If you or anyone you know has an old postcard collection please let me know so we can arrange to make copies. Look for them in antique stores when you travel. Postcards from 'here' were sent 'there.' Areas involved are: Bellaire, Neffs, East Liverpool, Hammondsville, Salem, Sebring, Steubenville, and Wellsville in Ohio; Belmont, Columbiana, Jefferson and Monroe Counties in Ohio; Indianapolis, Marion County, IN; Washington County, MD; Wetzel and Wood County, WV; Finney County, KS. Send me your name, email address, and phone number so that I can contact you if I need clarification.
