You have been an inspiration to many people with all the work you have done for the family. BTW, Grandma D really loved you. She talked positively about you whenever your name came up in conversation. As in many families including my own parents and ancestors, I think they were busy living their lives and doing what they have done their whole lives: the daily mundane acts of life like laundry, cooking, cleaning and for Grandma D tearing out her lawn frequently and replacing it herself and chipping off the ice on the top of the house in the middle of the winter when she was 69 years old! She had more spunk than anyone else I can remember knowing in my lifetime. What a woman! Keep up the great work. Aunt Sherri Great blog, Natalie!

We can't do everything well but we can do some things & you have done it in geneology. The spirit touched me while I read your passage & so who knows... maybe someday I will join the ranks. Love & Miss you! Looking forward to this summer! Jen Nat –

One of the best things about reading the stories about your ancestors is seeing a bit of them in yourself. Or finding new traits that inspire you to be better somehow. I can't wait to read more.

I HATE that they changed the words to the primary song because now I don't know how to sing it. I'm a Johnson--maybe we are related. I mean, how many can there be? I LOVE doing the family history.

Monson in the past 10-15 years directed to the spouses of inactive/nonmember husbands/wives. Pres. Monson counsels these spouses to treat their companions with respect and even as if they are active/members, inviting them with love to participate in FHE and to go to church, etc. Pres. Monson promises that if the spouse does this he/she will see their inactive/nonmember companion join the Church. Can anyone help me find this talk/article?

At times I even feel a pull coming from somewhere beyond. It's not my season. I absolutely LOVE Natalie's passion for this work! ps. I LOVED getting lost, getting kicked out of anthroP., and just about every aspect of that night in SLC. I enjoy indexing.

I think that is why I have always been drawn to genealogy. You are right genealogy isn't just for old people. My biological father passed away in April, and since then I have been borderline obsessive about genealogy. I'm glad to hear I'm not the only one under 70 with a hobby like this.

Thanks for again for the post Natalie. Really one of these days I'm going to jump in and see what's left on my end. After I figure out whether or not we're cousins I know exactly where to start next.

There were a lot of members of my grandparents' generation still living when she started, and that's where she started, too. I'm grateful to her for her boost to this fascinating obsession, the groundwork she did, the inspiration to begin. We were fortunate to work together for a time on our lines, before she died in 1987. After she died, I put it away until we got our first computer and the Internet in January 1995. We've certainly come a long way!
