I just bought it. I though I already had it, but couldn't find it. Oh well is I do I know have two. Jeanie

Am I the only one who was disappointed in the broadcast tonight? I'm sure glad I didn't have to drive far, or I would have been really disappointed. I thought it was going to be a 'training' session.

I love difficult questions like this. I have worked on these problems for sometime. Yes I am almost sure I know about his family. Let me ask you some questions to make sure. Was Niels Peter born about 1820? Was Ane, his wife born about 1820 as well? Did they have a son Niels born about 1851? Did they have a son Anders Chr born about 1854? Was Christine Ann (Mette Kerstine) born between 1852 and 1855? I also know about the voyage of this family to America. I had a great grandfather also come about this same time. He was 21 and he wanted to avoid being drafted into the Danish army. There is not a roster of the Wooley Company on which I believe they travelled, but there is strong evidence to believe that this family did travel on the Wooley Company. Please let me know if you think this is your family? This family was from Aalborg (Chruch Conference) and Jutland (Area). If the ages are close this must be your family. Please let me know. If there is any questions I have other sources to check. I love working with pioneer ancestros, especially difficult problems. the Scandinavian are the most difficult, but also we now have resources which make it much easier to find information.

Hi Everyone, I know I go a little page happy.

There is supposedly a reference in a book by Nephi Anderson that names the rescuers. The name of the book is possibly "History of the Church." Try the LDS Book store there is a book called "The Rescuers" it is about the rescue of the handcart company and I think it was the Willie/Martin Co. I looked for mine but it look like it might have been borrowed. If you ask at the Bookstore they can tell you what books would have the information you are looking for. The sister the owns the book store here is becoming my best friend. At least I see her more than my friends. Love Jeanie
