One does not always find what
orie likes when researching a fami
ly tree. Considering all of the hun
dreds of names, it is no wonder that
a few were “black sheep”. When
my children delve into genealogy,
they’ll find lots of teachers and
professional people in their
father’s family. My folks were
mostly farmers but that doest mean
they had no education they did.
A while ago a lady from Texas
spent years studying the history of
Hans Michael Weidler. He was the
grandfather of the man who built
the 1813 brick farmhouse in which
I live. Despite my parents interest
in relatives, I do not think that they
knew of any close relationship
with this family.
To make a long story shorter, I
have discovered that my three
times great grandmother not only
was a Weidler but she was the
granddaughter of the original
settler—Hans Michael. This
makes me the ninth generation to
live on this farm on the Conestoga
River in Lancaster County.

before creaming, cut into small
pieces, and whip.

MILK
AS BEVERAGE
Milk was originally thought of
by consumers as a raw product to
make butter and cheese. It wasn’t
until the late 1800’s that milk saw
widespread use as a beverage.

SHELF LIFE?
How long can you keep cottage
cheese, dairy sour cream, and
yogurt? About one week in the
refrigerator, for maximum flavor
and texture. Dairy sour cream and
yogurt may keep slightly longer
than cottage cheese, up to ten days.
