Here is a link it's called the History of Gingerbread, and the recipes do call for ginger. I hope that answers your question!

Thank you for this topic, I just had a moment of wow, my grandmother from Norway had the best recipe for Gingerbread, and ginger snap cookies. They were wafer thin... ooh. I miss her. She was a cook for a wealthy family when she immigrated to this country. Her cookbook was something else. Coffee or tea was always served on a saucer. Every morsal/meal/snack was a presentation) and she had the most incredible pastries, breads and cookies. She was brilliant!
