All My History Travels (So Far!)

Testing a Fannie Farmer Recipe…
Hello All! Today I present you with a (possibly) new series of posts, testing vintage recipes. I use the word possibly because I have no idea if I will continue this trend or not, seeing as I stumbled across this one by accident. With that being said… A few weeks ago, I (like many other…

In May of 2023, I graduated from Arizona State University’s College of Interdisciplinary Sciences and Arts (better known as CISA by those associated with ASU).

Entries Born in Taiwan (The Republic of China)
These are the entries born in the country of The Republic of China, better known to the outside world as Taiwan. Entries: Tsai Ing-wen, President of Taiwan
Unknown Origins
Entries Born in Unknown Locations Entries Located On This Page Have No Definitive Documentation (That I’ve Been Able to Find) To Indicate Where in the World They Were Born. It is my hope to someday eliminate this page by documenting accurate birth locations for every entry on both my Women’s and Men’s lists, so if…
The Trouble With Find a Grave
By now you’ve most likely seen my various listings and references to the website Find a Grave. This website is amazing for a plethora of reasons, but it has its faults as well, and that is what I wanted to focus on today. So, what’s the big deal? Well…as any good teacher will tell you,…
