The Frau Erica Texts An index of biographies, memoirs, histories, recipes, and oddments The Frau Erica Project has lots of text files — long and short, English and German — all of them linked from the appropriate family pages. That means, however, that some readers might not discover things of interest that are available elsewhere on the site. This index gathers most of those text files, sorts them by genre, and provides links (usually a name). There are 75 of these text files in the archives. To narrow your search, select: Biography | Memoir | History | Literary Work | Letters | Recipes | Oddments || All Files
