Finding My Flock: February 2011
http://findingmyflock.blogspot.com/2011_02_01_archive.html
Tuesday, February 15, 2011. Early Morning but Worth the Effort! I couldn't help but reflect back to my own endowment experience when my maternal grandfather, Ezra Tobler, played a role in my endowment session and was the first individual to greet me as I entered the celestial room! This experience was just another of my many tender memories of the Salt Lake Temple. Thursday, February 10, 2011. Performing My First Family Temple Ordinances. They also located the marriage certificate of Ole and Amelia!

Finding My Flock: September 2012
http://findingmyflock.blogspot.com/2012_09_01_archive.html
Saturday, September 29, 2012. Susa Young Gates married Jacob Forsberry Gates. That marriage linked our family lines. Susa became my great-aunt as Jacob was the brother of my great-grandfather, Wellington Forsberry Gates. While perusing a book of pioneer women recently at BYU I came across this brief history of her. I found it fascinating and thought others in the family might enjoy it as well. Subscribe to: Posts (Atom).

Finding My Flock: April 2012
http://findingmyflock.blogspot.com/2012_04_01_archive.html
Sunday, April 29, 2012. On April 2, 2012 the National Archives released the 1940 U.S. Federal Census. It is a snippet of America and its citizens following the Great Depression and during World War II. Kevin and I were recently called as Stake Family History Directors and have been challenged to excite and encourage our stake members to get involved in family history. As they neared Leipzig, Germany, Charles placed his parachute by the radio shack and climbed into the ball turrett. South of Leipzig, they...

Finding My Flock: Final Tally on the 5 Million in 24 Hours Challenge
http://findingmyflock.blogspot.com/2012/07/final-numbers-are-in-to-believe-that.html
Tuesday, July 3, 2012. Final Tally on the 5 Million in 24 Hours Challenge. The final numbers are in! Hard to believe that the goal of 5 million names in 24 hours was eclipsed with the final tally being 10,340,87! More important than the huge number of records indexed is the excitement and anticipation of the vast number of new records available to aid those working to link their families eternally! If you are reading this blog post and not already indexing, give it a try!

Finding My Flock: 1940 Census is Completed!
http://findingmyflock.blogspot.com/2012/08/1940-census-is-completed.html
Sunday, August 5, 2012. 1940 Census is Completed! The 1940 census was indexed and arbitrated in only 124 days! What a great project it was! My personal goal was to index and arbitrate at least one batch from each of the 50 states and the District of Columbia. I thought it would be a good goal for me- what I didn't realize was that there would be so much interest that some states would only be available for a day or so! Fun images to remind me of a great personal goal and service opportunity!

Finding My Flock: May 2012
http://findingmyflock.blogspot.com/2012_05_01_archive.html
Tuesday, May 29, 2012. Memorial Day is the perfect opportunity to do some family history with the family! We traditionally visit the grave sites of our grandparents to decorate them with flags (for the veterans) and flowers. Plus it is amazing technology and a lot of fun! By the way did I mention that the Billion Graves app is FREE? My Dad's brother and my Uncle Joe. I hope to add this tradition to my vacation list and as we travel to take the time to stop and seek out the burial spots of other ancestors...

Finding My Flock: Ephraim's Rescue - Tale of an Ancestor
http://findingmyflock.blogspot.com/2013/06/ephraims-rescue-tale-of-ancestor.html
Saturday, June 8, 2013. Ephraim's Rescue - Tale of an Ancestor. This movie didn't disappoint. Although it is always challenging to portray spiritual events on the big screen for entertainment, I came away feeling a definite connection with Ephraim and feel like I came to know some of his many strengths and weaknesses! It impressed upon me the vital role of stories, journal entries, etc. in preserving the rich heritage we share with our ancestors! We will definitely be adding this DVD to our library!
