    Hello from Iowa - the state west of Illinois and Chicago in the Midwest of US. I have been researching for some 15 years and we have several branches of our family that came from England, Scotland and Ireland. So I'm eager to share/connect with fellow researchers.

    Hi Ann and welcome from me too.

    (does Cedar Rapids still smell of breakfast cereal as you enter from the South?)

    cheers

    Default Cedar Rapids!

    Yes, on some days when Quaker Oats is processing the cereal Cedar Rapids does have a distinct malty smell in the air! But we can't smell it here in Iowa City! Ann

    My memory was of a smell of jam. Quaker must have been cooking a cereal with strawberries in it or similar!
