Terri ~ Sorry to have offended you. Certainly didn't mean to cause any problems. Just trying to answer a few questions and not get too heavy. Most likely, if you had ancestors come acrossed the plains with the Mormon Pioneers, this is their history. To me part of knowing their history is more than dates and names. I am curious as to their beliefes and what was in their hearts. It can really reflect on what kind of lives they lived and how their beliefes affected them in their everyday exsistence. Thanks for being tolerant and I, for one, appreciate your point of view. Have a good Tuesday! Holly Carmichael May P.S. that delete button can do wonders for the nerves! I tend to delete a great many things that don't appeal to me.
