 the absolute origin of mine was my great aunt Bessie from Philadelphia,

 she married my grandfather in 1920. When my mother married my dad in
 1949, she got given some, and when I moved out and on my own, I got
 some. >>

Reminds me of Amish freindship bread- a"friend" gives you the starter, you
feed it and stir it for ten days watching (in horror) as it grows, divide it
into forths, giving two away to "friends" ,bake the third part, and keep the
forth to start a new batch.  You get into trouble when you run out of
friends.  Pretty soon you aretrying to give it to strangers on the street,
just to get rid of it.
Makes a wonderful cake-like confection tho. :)
