I Have a Family Tree....

'Geneology I am doing it, my geneology & the reason why I am doing it is very clear to me.....'

Today during the Sunday School hour at church I worked on my geneology. I am researching my Dad's family and I found some very good stuff. I found out that my Dad's parents and grandparents and many other family members immigrated from Sweden to the United States in 1900. They arrived in New York and relocated to the midwest, Nebraska and Iowa. I found out that my Great Great Grandfather's name was Olaf and my Great Great Grandmother was Anna. I also found out that my Dad had two older sisters that he never mentioned. One died at the age of 1 month and the other at 20. I always thought he had six siblings, but now I know he was one of nine children! It is so amazing to look at the census reports and see ages, occupations, and addresses of my ancestors! I always thought geneology was for old people, but I think I have caught the bug! Oh wait.... I guess I am old and that is why I am so into it now. Oh well, it's still exciting.

Jordan completed my Dad's temple work this month and now I am going to be able to provide him with many more names soon. I am so excited to continue my search into the Hedlind family.
