David Shields' Cooking and Genealogy Site

In memory of Marion D. Shields

5/27/1921 - 3/20/2007

I have several interests and hobbies, these include cooking, flower and vegetable gardening, genealogy, tropical fish, and reading in addition to being active in several areas at church. My great uncle John started our family research and got 2 of my uncles interested. One of my cousins in my generation and I are continuing our families research.

One of my recipe pages contains the 55+ recipes that I use on a regular basis and the other recipe pages contain the 7,000+ recipes in Meal Master format and 38,000+ in Now Your Cooking format.. Some of the categories available for downloading are:

ABM, bread, cheese, chili, chocolate, crockpot, dessert diabetic, ice cream, low fat, marinade, meat, potato salad, side dish, stir-fry, and wheat free.

Here are my genealogy pages. I am researching the Alverson, Atkins, Bean, Bench, Brattain, Cain, Clark, Cowen, Grant, Henderson, Hosic, Johnson, Lennon, Payne, Saunders, Shields, Shoff, Smith, Thompson, Vowels, and Wright families.

Important people in American history that are either my direct ancestors or distant cousins include nine presidents and John Bartram, Botanist to the King of England and who is often called the father of American Botany.

The presidents that are distant cousins are: George Washington, John Adams, John Quincy Adams, Calvin Coolidge, Franklin Delano Roosevelt, Richard Milhous Nixon, George Herbert Walker Bush, and George Walker Bush.
