I don't know about you, but I am getting really tired of my own cooking. We've only gone out to dinner a time or two since the pandemic started here in March, and I desperately need some variety in my meal-planning repertoire.

I thought it would be fun to ask the Forever Young family of writers for their favorite easy family recipes.

And they delivered! From savory to sweet, we have several tested recipes in this month's feature to add to your rotation. A special thanks goes out to those who contributed their longtime favorites. If you have a favorite family recipe, send it in! We just might print it in an upcoming issue.

Have you noticed how glorious the fall weather and foliage have been this year? I don't know if it's just especially gorgeous or if this forced slow-down and sequestering have allowed us to pause and really notice the world around us. In either case, I hope you take time to get outside for some fresh air and exercise. And we're lucky here in Western New York that our air is fresh. I check the conditions where I live on the

weather app on my smartphone, as well as locations around the US where I have friends and family.

The air quality in Portland, Oregon, where my niece lives, for instance, was off the charts unhealthy for quite a while due to forest fires. We don't need to worry about that here. Yet. Despite all the craziness going on in the world today, there really are some things to be thankful for.

Happy Thanksgiving (and get your flu shot!).

Never miss a Forever Young!

A Gardener Looks at Thanksgiving Dinner CAROL ANN HARLOS

The onions use Confined turkeys eat high protein and soybeans fix nitrogen back into the the bulbs from the first year for the foods especially made for them in soil. Who pollinates legumes?

No, I do not just isn't there. (I know this because I Acorns are the “fruits” of oak trees. mean “yams.” Most of us have never forgot to dig up some onions one year.)

Corn is actually a type of not send me an email saying that your beautiful perennial herb in the mint grass, so it is pollinated by wind, as supermarket sells yams—that's just family.

In autumn, the plants begin to flower and then die. Dig up the potatoes or reach into the bag or other container to harvest.

Pumpkin pie, please. Pumpkins are really a type of winter squash. You can buy your own prepared pumpkin but, at least once in your life, I hope you grow your own pumpkins. You can grow from seed (easiest to start plants indoors) or buy plants. Just be sure to give those plants plenty of sunshine, water, fertilizer, and room to grow. Pumpkins are pollinated by bees so no insecticides please. When to harvest? The rind of the pumpkin will become hard and the pumpkin will have a pumpkin color. (I prefer orange but many folks like other colors such as white.) Cut the pumpkin vine several inches away from the top of the pumpkin.

I almost forgot the cranberries! I doubt that you grow them. I never have. But I love them, cooked or dried.

Cranberries, which are blueberry relatives, grow naturally in acidic bogs. Cultivated cranberries are grown today in areas with a shallow water table, meaning that water is close to the surface. These conditions are now created by people who scrape off the topsoil and build dikes around the field. Sand is added to the surface to a depth of about six inches. The beds are flooded in the autumn, which makes harvesting the cranberries much easier.

Have a wonderful Thanksgiving dear readers. I need to get to work— family always comes to our house. FY I love hearing from you: caharlos@ verizon.net

GENEALOGY

Federal Census Records and Genealogy CAROL DIPIRRO-STIPKOVITS

1950 census enumerator Photo courtesy of census.gov

T

here’s so much talk in the media about the 2020 Census being conducted now. From a genealogist’s point of view, census records provide the building blocks of our research.

The first US Federal Census was taken in 1790 and has been taken every ten years since. Because of a seventytwo-year restriction on access to the US Census, the most recent year available today is 1940. The 1950 Census will be released in 2022, and I am counting the days!

6

Between the years of 1790 and 1840, census takers only recorded the head of household–usually men–and all others in the family were enumerated as a tick-mark or a number broken down into age groups. Beginning in 1850, all members of the household were enumerated and this, my friends, is

www.foreveryoungwny.com | November 2020

where the fun begins. Knowing what you’re looking at and looking for, the basics of census research, is essential to finding your ancestors. Here are some tips: Read the instructions. I encourage you to take a little time and review the census takers instructions to better

understand the information recorded.

For example, in the “Race” column of later census years, the census taker determined a person’s race based on their visual assessment. In other words, the enumerated individuals were not stating their race for the record. This accounts for variations in race for an individual from one census year to the next.

Work your way back. Start your census research with the last record your ancestor appeared in, then move back in time to the previous record. If you find Aunt Tilly in the 1940 census record, look at the 1930 census, then the 1920 census, and so on. By tracing Aunt Tilly in this way, you move from adult to child, and finding her as a child in a household places her within a family unit, which could extend your family line back one or more generations as grandparents often lived with their children.

Take your time. Don’t just make notes on birth dates and ages, take note of every column, or you could be missing valuable clues about your ancestor as well as other family members. You may find the birthplace of both parents, occupation, and year of immigration, among other clues. Every bit of information is another piece of the puzzle. For example, learning an ancestor owned land indicates you will need to search land records and/ or deeds.

Look at Special Schedules. Created to collect additional information, these may contain valuable information on your ancestors and should not be overlooked. The five types of special schedules (also known as non-population schedules) useful to genealogy researchers include:

GENEALOGY Agriculture, Manufacturing/Industrial, Mortality, and Slave. (Note: The terminology used was the language of that time period.) The Defective, Dependent and Delinquent schedule of 1880 has several sections: Insane, Idiots, Deaf Mutes, Blind, Homeless Children, Prisoners, and Paupers/ Indigent.

Check out the neighborhood. We are all part of a community, and these are the people our ancestors worked with, prayed with and often married.

It’s not unusual to find family members or (gasp!) in-laws living houses away.

Is your ancestor’s family missing in a census? Try searching for the extended family or by the street name. Still hiding? Grab a cup of coffee and settle in for a page-by-page look. This is how I found my father’s missing family.

Not only had they moved to a new address, but the enumerator listed their surname as Rus rather than Rossow.

Verify. Lastly, keep in mind that there’s no guarantee that the head of the household was a reliable informant—

things could be misremembered, deliberately or not. Also, if the family wasn’t home, the data collected may have been from a neighbor. If the information doesn’t make sense, keep digging, don’t just accept it. A good rule of thumb? Everything found in the census must be verified by other sources such as birth, marriage, or death records.

I’m happy to say that digitized census records can be accessed for free online through FamilySearch.org (when you sign up for a free account).

These records are some of the first that I worked with, and I hope I’m still around when my census debut is released in 2042. Stay safe and happy hunting!

Grandma’s Stuffing

BY TARA ERWIN

I

’m fortunate my grandmother, who just celebrated her eighty-eighth birthday, is still around and agreed to share her recipe with Forever Young readers. It’s something she remembers her mother making every Thanksgiving at their flat on Herkimer Street in Buffalo since before my grandmother was a teenager, which puts its genesis as a family tradition at around the 1940s.

Later, my grandparents would host Thanksgiving for their own growing family on Auburn Avenue in Buffalo, where this recipe became a staple as well.

not soggy. Taste and add any needed seasoning.

Add raw sausage, breaking up as needed to evenly incorporate into the mixture (you can do this by hand or use a fork if you don’t want to touch the raw meat).

Cover and refrigerate until turkey is ready to go in the oven (see note below).

Stuff in turkey cavity or put in casserole dish to bake covered alongside turkey. Cook turkey according to safe consumption standards (internal temperature of at least 165 degrees).

If making alongside the turkey, look for cooked sausage and tender celery and onions to indicate doneness. If you want a nice brown crust on top, uncover about 30 minutes prior to taking out of the oven.

Notes This recipe is for an up to a twentypound turkey, which typically serves around fourteen people.

If the turkey is smaller, cut recipe in half or bake extra in a casserole dish alongside the turkey.

Stuffing can be made up to one day before and stored in the refrigerator until time to bake.

If there are any leftovers (and that’s a big “if”), stuffing should be refrigerated and can be reheated, covered, in the microwave or oven. Just add more liquid if it’s too dry. FY Tara Erwin is a local public relations professional and freelance writer.

It’s tedious, but the presentation is everything! Avoid using a food processor, especially for the parsley, which can wilt and ruin the texture of the salad.

• Parsley – It’s a parsley salad, so this is the star of the recipe.

Make sure to wash the parsley with cold water so it doesn’t wilt, then dry it thoroughly.

• Tomatoes – Use fresh ripe tomatoes; if they’re too juicy, you can remove the cores before dicing.

• Onions – Chop fine, add a pinch of allspice seasoning, and mix well. This will give a subtle taste to the onions while blending well with the parsley.

• Bulgur – Use fine bulgur—the smallest you can find! Bulgur is sold in four numbered grind sizes: look for #1, which is the smallest grind. There is no need to cook this bulgur; it simply needs to be soaked in liquid to become tender.

• Lemon juice– Freshly squeezed, please.

• Olive oil – Go for high quality extra virgin olive oil. You’ll definitely taste the difference!

Mix well and chill for at least an hour in the fridge, so flavors can meld. Serve cool. FY For more Lebanese cuisine, visit Almaza Grill at 9370 Transit Rd.; almazagrill.com.

The Birth of Women’s Rights Rochester and Seneca Falls STORY AND PHOTOS

BY DEBORAH WILLIAMS

T

his year is the centennial of the Nineteenth Amendment, often called the “Susan B. Anthony Amendment,” granting women the right to vote. The campaign and years of fighting for this amendment began and was carried out in nearby Rochester and Seneca Falls.

A visit to The National Susan B. Anthony Museum & House, a National Historic Landmark, in Rochester brings her story alive. Born in 1820 to a Quaker family committed to social equality, Susan lived in this house with her sister Mary from 1866 until her death in 1906. It was also the headquarters of the National American Woman Suffrage Association. A true revolutionary, Anthony fought not only for women’s right to vote but also for their right to get an equal education and to own property.

“The year was 1872 when there was a knock at the door of this house and a federal marshal arrested Anthony for voting,” explains Linda Lopata, director of Interpretive and Visitor Services and our guide. “He took her to the police station on a horse-drawn trolley. The trial was later moved to Canandaigua, and the male-only jury was directed to find her guilty. She was

fined $100 but she refused to pay.”

Visitors can see the bathroom with the tub where Anthony bathed in cold water until age eighty. She died in her bedroom at age eighty-six on March 13, 1906. A month earlier, she attended suffrage hearings in Washington and gave her famous “Failure is impossible” speech at her birthday celebration.

Everywhere she traveled, she carried her black alligator bag filled with her papers, and it is also on display.

There was a blizzard on the day of her funeral and yet more than 10,000 people attended. A similar number placed “I voted” stickers on her gravestone in the city’s Mt. Hope Cemetery on election day in 2016. That event was observed with a Jeopardy question earlier this year.

Also on display is the typewriter that Anthony and Elizabeth Cady Stanton used in their crusade. “Men, their rights and nothing more; Women, their

rights and nothing less,” was the motto of their cause and their newspaper, The Revolution.

The pair met in nearby Seneca Falls in a chance encounter. The meeting would change the course of the fight for women’s suffrage. That meeting in May 1851 is memorialized in a statue overlooking Van Cleef Lake. It portrays Amelia Jenks Bloomer introducing Anthony to Stanton. Their friendship gave direction and momentum to the seventy-two-year struggle for women’s suffrage. “It has been said, writes Stanton of Susan B. Anthony, “that I

The three women depicted in the monument now wear lace collars in honor of the late Supreme Court Justice Ruth Bader Ginsburg.

Justice Ginsburg and the leaders of the women’s suffrage movement are among the 287 women inducted into the National Women’s Hall of Fame.

The hall moved into the large former Seneca Knitting Mill just across the Seneca-Cayuga Canal in August. It is an ideal location because the building employed thousands of women over the years until it closed in 1999.

The beginnings of the movement were strengthened in Seneca Falls when Stanton proclaimed these powerful words: “We hold these truths to be self-evident: that all men and women are created equal,” at the first Women’s Rights Convention on July 19, 1848. Nine days earlier, Stanton and five friends had met and decided to hold the convention. More than 300 women and men gathered in the Wesleyan Chapel to hear the first formal demands for women’s rights.

The local newspaper reported that “an

BEING WELL

Play Offense When it Comes to Cold and Flu Prevention

BY CATHERINE STACK

P

revention and early treatment are essential to get through the "sick season" relatively unscathed, so I’m going to share my best tips and supplement protocols with you. While prevention is always best, stocking up and having a plan for when illness creeps in will have you feeling better in no time. You can’t afford to wait a few days for a delivery when you are ill, and I’m sure you won’t be up to shopping.

Prevention is key Now, I am not the girl who sanitizes everything, as there is something to be said about building up the immune system, but hand washing is extremely important when it comes to not spreading germs. I know some people complain that their hands become dry and chapped (you might need more healthy fats in your diet), but this is not a valid excuse not to wash your hands frequently throughout the day.

Vitamin D3 is extremely important for a strong immune system.

Unfortunately, most people run very low without supplementation. Low levels of D3 make you much more susceptible to colds and flu and host of other issues. Autoimmune diseases and many cancers have the common denominator of a low vitamin D3 as well. Levels between 65-100 seem to be the most protective. For most individuals this takes approximately 6000ius per day.

My favorite type is Liqui-D3 by Rx Vitamins. It is extremely bio-available and so easy to take.

Vitamin C is also a great preventer.

Unfortunately, the most common type our there is ascorbic acid which is only one quarter of what vitamin C really is, and this is what you are finding on the shelf. Better options would be C-1000

by Protocol for Life Balance or Ester-C

by Klaire Labs. 1000mg per day of C-1000 or 500mg of Ester -C is a great seasonal protocol for prevention.

Colloidal silver is the best prevention when it comes to being around sick individuals or travelling.

Colloidal silver is antibacterial (without destroying good bacteria), 18

antiviral, and antifungal. I use five sprays daily during cold and flu season and also before boarding flights. This is especially helpful for those who are prone to yearly sinus infections and bronchitis. ACS Silver by Results RNA is my seasonal favorite.

Sleep is restorative and preventative when it comes to your health. An overworked, overtired individual is an open door to illness. Cerentity by Ortho Molecular Products is my favorite goto for help when I need a good night’s sleep. (It is also exceptional for daytime anxiety). For relaxing music, visit SoundCloud to find a sleep meditation or music that works for you.

I’m sick, now what?

OK, everyone is susceptible now and then, but when illness strikes, you want to act fast to turn things around. I have found that when I think I’m coming down with a cold, if I can prevent that stuffy nose from happening, I can overcome it all together. I use one tablet of pseudoephedrine and 400mg of guaifenesin. I rarely need more than a few doses. (Not for those suffering from arrhythmias or high blood pressure.)

Overdose on vitamin C. I will now increase my dose of Vitamin C to 6000mg daily. If this dosage causes diarrhea, back down to 4000mg. The higher you can go, the faster you will clear the illness, as it acts as an illness flush.

Zinc. Although some have trouble tolerating zinc (nausea), most can tolerate 30mg daily. Zinc is a strong antiviral. I like Zinc Supreme by Designs for Health. Take it will food.

Colloidal silver. As described above, colloidal silver has antiinfective properties but, unlike the preventative dosing, increase to five sprays, three times daily.

DEFENSE by Optimal Health Systems is probably one of my favorite remedies and works fast against the common cold. Unfortunately, you have to order from optimalhealthsystems. com directly but they have excellent customer service. If you mention my name, I believe you get a discount off your first order. While you are there, they also carry the best probiotic at a great price, FLORA PLUS. I always recommend probiotics after antibiotic or steroid use.

Oscillococcinum is a homeopathic remedy specific for the flu. One vial every six hours will shorten downtime from the flu significantly. This is one of my favorite homeopathic remedies.

Chicken soup. Freeze some homemade chicken soup for when illness strikes. There is nothing better.

Stay hydrated. I know, it is so hard to stay hydrated when you are not feeling well, but it will help you to feel better, liquify secretions, and rid yourself of the illness faster. Herbal tea, bone broth, and warm water with lemon or with honey are just a few suggestions.

Watch your words People who say “I never get sick” are generally right. This is a basic example of the Law of Attraction. Individuals who say and believe they rarely get sick will probably not get sick as often and those who say, “I am always sick” or “I catch things so easily” or “I always

get sick after the flu shot.” Be mindful of what you say and think, as it has incredible power over your circumstances.
