Family Origins -- almost as inexpensive as PAF, Windows, user-friendly, beautiful screens, lots of variety in reports and charts, and fully TempleReady (with the latest release, that is -- earlier glitches have been fixed). In fact, I prepared a disk this week, had the cards printed out at the Provo Temple last night for a family reunion temple session this Saturday, and had a perfectly smooth, hassle-free time of it all.

Help, help! My project is an old cemetery in Green River UTAH. The records have been lost over time. As far as I can tell it started 1865 to 1930. The cemetery was actually closed in 1926, however it was reopened at least once to keep family members together. If you have decendants from the Green River area. Especially if you have records of them death. I need to here from you. Green River was once called Blake. Our town is divided by the river, that side of town was called Elgin. Also Green River is located in 2 counties so watch for EMERY and GRAND counties. And before 1880 it was San Pete County. If you can help I'd be so grateful.

I have recently picked up my geneology again. Haven't done anything on it for years. I discovered that these surnames, who are my ggg grandparents through my father's mother's line all came to Salt Lake with the pioneers. Here are specific names and dates: Edward CHAPPELL born March 13, 1822 in Manchester, Lancashire, England died crossing the plains September 9, 1864 he married on Feb. 28, 1843 in Manchester: Agnes BOARDMAN born August 15, 1824 in Manchester, Lancashire, England died crossing the plains September 15, 1864 their daughter Agnes Boardman CHAPPELL born September 5, 1860 in Belston, Staffordshire, England died October 29, 1947 in Lava Hot Springs, Bannock, Idaho Also - William PARK born October 26, 1805 in Cambuslang, Lanar, Scotland died March 11, 1890 in Millcreek, Salt Lake, Utah he married in 1828 in Cambusland, Lanark, Scotland: Jane DUNCAN born February 19, 1808 in Hamilton, Lnrksh, Scotland died: November 1873 in Mill Creek, Salt Lake, Utah Their son Joseph Duncan Park was born August 18, 1848 in Salt Lake City. That was my first clue they were pioneers! You won't catch me napping! LOL I hope to connect with somebody out there! Carol

Some of the other challenges with 3.0: You can't change defaults...you have to tell it every time....such as: when I want to type the actual temple data in, I have to hit the insert key for each individual. I can't default to be able to just do typeovers. The ditto function takes about 4 sequences inside of the easy onehand control- D. What's with all that notes that won't go away? You can't choose not to have them....lots of wasted paper. Last night I cleared some names on Temple Ready and the home report was ten pages long instead of one. (And after they finally fixed in at the FHL so the reports weren't so long there.) Ron Colby has suggested Family Origins 6.0.....Any other ideas??? or agreement?? Michele

Hi all, The past couple of weeks, I feel I have neglected all of you. However, we have had some very supportive members here who have picked up the slack. To each of you, I apologize and say thank you for your kindness to one another. I finished my mother-in-laws Pioneer Heritage book and presented it to her WITH PICTURES ;) on her 80th birthday. My husband and I copied and collated 20 books and they were all gone that evening to family members. The booklets totalled 107 pages and had a wonderful dedication to mom, along with favorite memories of her from each of her 5 kids. Wonderful book. This is the best part...... For any of you that might tie in, I now have typed into my computer histories of this family that are not on the cd and can only be gotten through the DUP (only 1/3 of them) and through various family members. I will gladly share the stories with anyone who ties in....these are the histories I compiled for the book. Thomas Tanner, b. 1807 in Newbury, Berks, England settled Tooele wife Ann Newman, b. 26 Dec. 1820 South Witham, Lincoln, England David Morgan, b. 10 Oct. 1811, Cosley, Sedgley, Stafford, England, died Grouse Creek wife Hannah Turner, b. 12 March 1814, same place, died Fairfield, Utah daughter Amanda Morgan, b. 27 April 1852 (Amanda married Valison Tanner, one of the original settlers of Grouse Creek) Edith Chloe Kimber (Tanner), b. 18 July 1894, Huntington, Emery, Utah, died Brigham City, Utah husband David Ralph Tanner, b. 25 April 1889, Grouse Creek, Utah (son of Valison Sr. and Amanda Morgan) Charles Kimber, Jr, born 23 Jan. 1851, Buckleburry, Berks, England, died Grouse Creek wife Peris Josephine Laird, born 31 October 1874, Goshen, Utah, died 1955 Brigham City, Utah (called Josie by all her family members) Chalres Kimber Sr., b. 31 August 1818, Bucklebury, Berks, England, died 1900 Grouse Creek wife Caroline Selwood, b. 19 May 1816, same, died 1899, same Joseph Smith Laird (I wonder who he was named after ;), b. 7 Nov. 1849, Glasgow, Lanark, Scotland, died 22 April 1874, SLC wife Persis Minerva McKee, b. 9 Oct. 1858, Spanish Fork, died 1951, Sun Valley, California James Laird, b. 25 Dec. 1825, Bonneybefore, Antrim, Ireland, died Mountain Dell, SLC, Utah wife Mary Rennie(Rainey) b. 3 July 1826, Glenhead, Kilpatrick, Scotland, died 183, SLC. James Laird and Mary Rennie and their young family from Joseph Smith Laird down to their 14 month old daughter were members of the Willie Handcart Company. James had such faith and strength that none of his family members died during this trek. My own Emma Bravandt was a young 17 year old that also travelled in the Willie Handcart company. I wonder if he was one who might have helped her along.... Please holler at me if you would like any copies of the histories and pictures. I also have Paskettes History of Grouse Creek. It tells many interesting facts of that area being settled in the far Western side of Box Elder County, UTah. One story told about small pox sweeping through the community. Josie Laird Kimber was about 8 1/2 months pregnant when she contracted the disease. She was very,very sick and it was truly a miracle she survived. When her baby was born, my husbands great Aunt Fern, the baby was also covered with the pox. The doctor said that her living was the greatest miracle he had ever witnessed. These stories have definetly made me appreciate my ancestors and helped me to realize the strength that this group had. Terri

Hi Lynda and all, I would check the book site at Ancestry.com They have a lot of this type of books to help researchers. It is a good site. Terri At 08:52 PM 8/5/98 -0400, L.

I am about ready to scream....I have been using PAF 2.31 for what seems like forever and thought I'd better upgrade to 3.0. I hesitated because of the glitches but was assured that 3.0M would fix all that. So I downloaded all my info into 3.0...and started adding more....such as completed temple data, etc. and a few new families I researched recently. I am SOOOOOOOO frustrated with 3.0......you can't default, you can't insert without hitting a special key each time, the ditto function is a pain in the neck...and the family group sheet print outs are UGLY....and I can't get rid of all those useless notes that I don't even have..it just prints extra pages with names. The PAF Companion is also a pain in the next....the family group sheets require so much paper...my personal family has four kids...it used to take one page to print it..now it takes two. that's not a big deal unless you have a 30000 name database like I do and want to print out. So, what software have all of you LDS researchers turned to that is user friendly and allows for TempleReady? I had hoped to do a book someday and get a scanner...which software imports those things well? Ideas...opinions? Michele Brooks

Try FAMILY ORIGINS 6.0 Has variable fact fields, over 100 and you can even creat your own. All temples are listed Temple ready 4 ways to config. dates Supports all LDS functions. Has date calculator and the list goes on When you want to Edit a person all facts are listed, you don't have to change screens. AND guess what the writer of the program lives in Utah and has a mail list on rootsweb and he monitors the list and jumps in and gives answers. When purchassing make sure you buy the book "Getting the Most Out of Family Origins" this book is worth its weight in gold FAMILY ORIGINS is dist. by Parsons Tech. Deseret Book carries this program. I have looked into alot of programs FTM, PAF, Ancestry, and several DOS program and found FO to be the most user friendly of all. Sorry about the commerical, but I like what I like.

ardis I think i know where there is another cemetery that may need some of the stickers to and it is the old Ephriam cemetery. I was down there around memorial day and i dont recall seeing any of the stickers. Its called the old pioneer cemetery. When the new one was built though, some of the families dug up their families and reburied them in the new cemetery. This happened in 1910 and the old one was forgotten about. I found it by accident whilie i was visiting the new one, thinking that it was the original cemetery. Alot of headstones are destroyed but there are alot that aren't. if any one knows of any family that is buried in that cemetery they want to know the family and find out where they are buried be cause some of the headstones are gone now and they are trying to get it cleaned up and presentable and it is taking a long time to do this because of the lack of intrest or just the lack of knowlegde that it is there. I had no idea that it was there and i did find family there. I had the address that you could write to and inqurie about the cemetery and when i find it i will post it if any one is interested.

As you identify the cemeteries, you could post messages here asking if anybody lives close enough to affix the marker for you, perhaps. As for unmarked graves, I wonder how many cemeteries have a stone like the one at Marysvale, Piute, Utah: Beneath the flagpole at the entrance to the cemetery, there is a large fieldstone where small plaques have been affixed to remember persons known to be buried in the cemetery when the exact grave locations have been lost. These plaques are the small ones provided by mortuaries as temporary grave markers, but they have been mounted permanently to the fieldstone. Now that I've written that, I wonder if I'm mistaken and those names are those of veterans buried there...

My g grandmother drowned in White River. There is a Historical Monument in Vernal? Roosevelt? ( Geography leaves a lot to be desired) As the story goes the women were frightened by Indians and rushed into the river. Indians were friendly and assisted the rescue of some of the women and children. If any one of you live in this area can you do some researching and find out what you can for me? Her full name was Diane Leone FRANCE CAMPBELL.

Re: St. George Cemetery... I was late getting to my Email today, so am glad that someone referenced my UTGenWeb Washington County site. We are very lucky to have all of the Washington County libraries online thanks to the donation of work by Dr. Wesley Craig. He has also donated an index of all Washington County pioneers who came before 1970 and is now working on an index of marriages, I believe. I would love to get more info to put online including lifesketches etc.... About the St. George cemetery...My father was sexton there for over 20 years and knows where everyone is buried up to the time he retired about 8 years ago. He lives at his ranch at Mountain Meadows most of the time now and it is hard to find him. I think I heard him say that the present sexton knows things but is still getting used to the new computer system. They work weekdays and are sometimes there on Saturdays if there is a funeral. I do remember when I was young that he sometimes didn't help people who were rude but went out of his way for nice people so when I visit cemeteries I always remember this and try to be kind even if I'm in a hurry. Cindy Alldredge

During the Sequecentennial in 1997, small grave markers with the sesq. logo were available from the church distribution center for $8. These were to be affixed by family members to the gravestone of pioneer graves. Has anyone done this for any of their pioneer ancestors? Through my research of the 9th Handcart company, I found that a number of them died without living descendants in Utah. Some of these were widows who came alone (and often remarried) and married couples who died without children. I'd like to honor these pioneers (once I locate the graves), and wonder if anyone has suggestions for going about accomplishing this without personally visiting the graves. Several are buried in the Salt Lake City Cemetery in the paupers section and probably don't even have a headstone. For example, two brothers died of mountain fever three months after arriving in the valley with their widowed mother (whom I haven't been able to trace). Any ideas? Thanks, Lynda

Sherman, When I was last in St. George I went to the cemetery and the sexton was there. He looked in the card file for the surnames I asked about. He recognized those burials and then told me interesting stories [that will not be in print if our history goes to press] about those distant cousins of mine. My advice is check to see when that sexton is in and plan to visit then. We learned a lot.

Here's the web site: www.lofthouse.com/USA/Utah/washington/cemetery/master.html Mary Heiner Hinckley, born 18 June 1839, died 11 Oct 1879. The author of the compilation of Washington county cemetery records lists his sources, some of which are on microfiche. If you go to the Washington County page ( www.lofthouse.com/USA/Utah/washington/index.com) you'll find telephone numbers for St. George area FHCs and other sources. I'm sure someone at the FHC would know if the cemetery has an office and telephone number. They might even have the records. Good luck. By the way, I'm related to the Heiners as a step-cousin. My great-great grandmother, Sarah Elizabeth Henderson, married 1) Isaac Conway Morris and 2) Anthony Heiner. She was pregnant with my great-grandfather, Conway Morris, when her first husband died. They lived in Morgan, Utah, as did most of the Heiners. I have a book on Morgan Co. cemeteries if you need any lookups. ____________________Reply Separator____________________ Subject: [HANDCART-L] Mary Heiner Hinckley - St. George Cem Author: stwatkins@juno.com (S Watkins) Date: 8/2/98 6:39 PM Who would I contact to get directions to the burial location of someone who died and was buried in St. George UT in October 1879?

I am elderly and can not get to a LDS Center and have just discovered this info about my family. Will someone please be so kind as to help me with this. Thank you so very much.
