I didn’t scan much last week. The biggest thing that I scanned was Jell-O Pudding Ideabook. It is from 1968 and has recipes using Jell-O Pudding and Pie Filling. It is not Monroe County history so the link will take you to the Internet Archive. Jell-O originated in LeRoy, Livingston County, NY in 1897.

There are other Jell-O recipes on the Internet Archive. I uploaded this one from 1905 many years ago. Then two years ago I uploaded three more Jell-O recipe books (from 1916, 1927, and 1932).

Then I scanned two new postcards; the Rose Window of Asbury First Methodist Church (on the right) and the interior of the former Annunciation Catholic Church (now Bridge Builders Ministries).

I spent some time last week going through old family movies. I don’t have a projector any more but I have an old film editor with a 2 inch screen that has to be hand-cranked. I ended up taking about 1000 film of 8mm movies to Scott’s Photo to have digitized onto a DVD. I can convert the DVD to other digital formats.

I did some full text searches on FamilySearch. Found out my 3rd great grandfather, Rufus Halsey, was a Constable in 1822 and 1823 in the Town of Howard, Steuben County. At that time there were about 1000 people in that Town. He died in 1826 at age 45 leaving a widow and 7 children.

I did some spring cleaning, at least inside. Still have some big jobs to do outside when the weather stays warmer.
