MISCELLANEOUS

This page, I think, is going to be 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.
