I am new to this list and to be very honest am not sure exactly what it is all about. I shall begin by saying that I am descended from a number of pioneer families that joined the church in the early days and came west to Salt Lake. Some of the pioneer families I descend from are Oviatt, Grover and Workman. After their arrival in Salt Lake the families settled in Farmington, Utah and Parker, Idaho before the children and grandchildren began branching out into other areas of the continent. My grandfather and his brother travelled north to Canada, first arriving in Cardston, the site of the Alberta Temple, and continuing north about 200 or so miles to settle in Stavely, Alberta. From there my grandfather and grandmother had 15 children, 52 grandchildren and who knows how many others after that. All I know is that we number into the hundreds when we have family reunions. We are trying to get all the genealogy organized for their descendants, but it is becoming much easier said than done. I would be most interested in hearing more of these families and their travels across the prairies to the Salt Lake valley. I do have a few stories on their travels, which I would be willing to share if anyone is interested, but am sure that other stories do exist. Thanks for your time.
