Dad never mentioned how his uncle lost his sight. Since Dad was little when the uncle baked for the birthday celebration, Dad probably never knew. It wouldn't surprise me to learn the loss of sight due to diabetes.CJ Kennedyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14931779747826558608noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4683035672152916229.post-41404614739733916732017-04-20T17:53:21.726-04:002017-04-20T17:53:21.726-04:00Rum cakes are delicious. chocolate filling, rum fi...Rum cakes are delicious. chocolate filling, rum filling, custard sandwiched between layers of spongecake.

My mother's sister would bring the Italian rum cake and cookies from Mike's Pastry in the North End of Boston. <br /><br />His stories have helped me in my genealogy research. I have not been able to verify his Uncle Francisco in any records. Dad doesn't mention last names or where people lived. I don't know whether this is his mother's paternal or maternal uncle. So it just makes putting the puzzle together a little bit slower.CJ Kennedyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14931779747826558608noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4683035672152916229.post-67428101642052081072017-04-20T07:50:58.260-04:002017-04-20T07:50:58.260-04:00What fabulous memories your father has left you. ...What fabulous memories your father has left you. Gosh, I wish I got such a fabulous birthday cake. I can't begin to imagine making such an elaborate cake, much less one when I was blind.<br /><br />Yesterday I was at a genealogy lecture. Verifiable stories, passed down from generation to generation was one of the things she discussed.Bleubeard and Elizabethhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10149710375520733752noreply@blogger.com
