Wednesday,
June 10 the Morristown Festival of Books’ One Community, One Book initiative is
hosting “Your Family Came From Where?” that will be held at the Madison Public
Library beginning at 7 PM.
The
program based on the family heritage theme from this year’s One Book selection
The Lost Ravioli Recipes of Hoboken by Laura Schenone. We are partnering with the Morristown
Library's genealogical department to showcase the information available in
Morris County. Cher Turkington from the Morristown & Morris Twp Library
will be our speaker on how early immigrants transformed the Morristown community.
Philip Hussa from the Family History Center in Flanders will be presenting
information on the area Family History Centers collections and of course familysearch.org. Both of these organizations will have materials on hand for
attendees to learn more about the breadth of genealogical services here in the
Morris County area.
The
book that the OCOB committee selected to be this year’s featured selection that
we hope you will enjoy is The Lost Ravioli Recipes of Hoboken written by Laura
Schenone of Montclair. By offering this
and other programs leading up to the Festival which will take place on October
2 and 3, to generate enthusiasm for the book as well as the Festival. To
