Inspired
by her family’s Christmas ravioli tradition, author Laura Schenone traces her
family’s roots from Italy to New Jersey in The Lost Ravioli Recipes of Hoboken. During her search to find the original recipe she discovers much
more about herself, her family and the place they used to call home. Like Ms
Schenone, you can discover much about your family’s history with a bit of
research.
The Roxbury Library provides free access to historical records,
censuses and family histories online from Ancestry.com. The Library will be
holding class for Roxbury cardholders on July 28, 6pm. During which you will be
shown how to find your records so that you can begin to create your family
history story. Patrons will be provided with a blank family tree which should
be completed and brought to the class.
The
Lost Ravioli Recipes of Hoboken by Laura Schenone is this year’s One Community, One Book selection by the Morristown Festival of Books. Ms Schenone
will be appearing at the 2015 Morristown Festival of Books on October 2. For
