		<description><![CDATA[History of Wedding Cakes Cakes have always been a feature of wedding celebrations, although in times past they were not always eaten. Originally made of wheat, a symbol of fertility and prosperity, they would have been thrown at the bride. Around 100B.C. the Romans began baking wheat and salt into small cakes to be eaten, although some would have been crumbled over the head of the bride as a sign of good fortune. The Greeks used a sweeter mixture of wheat and honey, however all these ‘cakes’ would have been more like a biscuit rather than a soft cake. In medieval England flour based sweet foods were included in many celebration feasts. In some places it was customary to place the cakes in a pile. A tall stack of cakes was an indication of wealth. By the 17th century the plum cake was introduced into England from France, although less affluent ceremonies sometimes had a “bride’s pie” as the centerpiece of celebrations. This was a type of mince pie, made with sweet breads or a savory mutton pie and inside would have been placed a ring. Custom says that the lady who found the ring would be next to wed.

		<description><![CDATA[Database of Canadians Who Served in the American Civil War This list is a revision, expansion, and (I hope) an improvement upon the previous lists that I have compiled. My intention is to list every Canadian who served in the Civil War for whom there is some sort of documentation. Unfortunately, much of the relevant materials is not readily available, and therefore this list will never be an accurate reflection of the number of Canadians who served in the war. Nevertheless, I hope that the list will bring more attention to the role that these men played and, hopefully, assist some genealogically-minded people in tracking down a long lost ancestor. Please keep in mind that the list is currently a &#8220;work in progress&#8221;. I have pieced much of it together from other lists that I have previously compiled, using different formats. I hope to have this lack of uniformity rectified as soon as possible.

		<description><![CDATA[Nogies Creek Cemetery History at Gypsy Point Used from 1865 to 1952 this old cemetery was formerly called the Ventress Burying Ground.  It belonged to William Ventress and was used for family and neighbourhood burials long before official recognition as a cemetery in the 1880’s.  Some graves were disturbed by removal of sand and gravel, but it is now protected by the township. Extensive research has identified the burials that have taken place here.  This stone was erected by the Greater Harvey Historical Society (G.H.H.S.) in 1999 and contains on the sides and back, names of all known burials. Additional information is available from the G.H.H.S. Nogies Creek Cemetery]]></description>
