Has everyone heard that Ancestry is closing down the Rootsweb mailing lists in March? Is the admin of this list going to try and migrate the group somewhere else? We have started a new Idaho Genealogy message board/mailing list at "Groups.io" ( https://groups.io/g/IdahoGenealogy ) We want to place links to any county groups or specialized Idaho lists or groups on the home page. Of Course, anyone interested in Idaho genealogy is encouraged to join this new group I hope to hear from you RandyC

We would like to announce the forming of a new organization the Cumberland Gap Tennessee Genealogy and History Group, A.K.A (CGTGHG) which propose to record and preserve. The goal of the group is to promote Genealogy with the recording of Pioneerâs and their descendantâs while also preserving and recording Cumberland Gapâs history. The CGTGHG hopeâs the Nation will get behind the group by submitting pioneerâs names, stories, pictures and Genealogies to be preserved for future generations to come. The CGTGHG will be having a newsletter 4 times a year and will have memberships available on different levels more on that to come. You can go to our website at [1]cgtghg.org or [2]facebook.com/cgtghg Thank You, David A Nelson Jr Website and Social Media References 1. http://cgtghg.org/ 2. http://facebook.com/cgtghg

He was born on October 10, 1923 at his grandparent's house in Chesterfield, Idaho. He was the son of Austin and Janet Rindlisbacher Sessions. Anson grew up on a ranch in Toponce, Idaho. He frequently reminded us that he had to ride a horse 5 miles to school, sometimes in the bitter cold eastern Idaho weather. As a teenager he and his family moved to Ogden, Utah where he graduated from Weber High School. He was well known for is hot rod driving antics. In 1943 he married Fern Fowls. Together they had 2 daughters, Judy and Jan. Later they divorced and Anson married Faye Carty in 1960. Together Anson and Faye had two children, Duane and Patty. They were later sealed as a family in the Ogden temple. Anson was an active member of the LDS Church and served diligently in many service opportunities and most recently as a temple worker. He started his work career at the Union Pacific Railroad when he was still in High School. His first job was as a messenger and later he became a rate clerk, a ticket agent, and sales agent. In 1959 he took a job with the Chicago and Northwestern Railroad and in 1965 was transferred to Boise, Idaho. Anson was always a worker and he worked evenings for many years at Farr's Ice Cream in Ogden, Utah. He loved ice cream. For many years, when he took his family to Ogden to visit, he would stop on the way into town and on the way out of town and would have "Mable" make ice cream cones for his family. Anson and Faye joined the US Coast Guard Auxiliary and were active members for 21 years, providing boat safety training as well as patrolling sailing events. In 1970 together Anson and Faye decided to build a cabin in Donnelly Idaho. Many years of enjoyment were spent at the cabin, hunting, fishing, water skiing, and good family time. Each year for nearly 20 years on Christmas Eve, Anson would put on his Santa suit and go out and visit children of friends and family. Anson never realized his influence on people until he was involved in a serious car accident in 1979. Family, friends and business associates poured into his hospital room to wish him well. Several times during his recovery in the hospital, his family had to remove plants, flowers and even a fishing lure tree to make more room. He was always humbled by the outpouring of love shown to him during this trying time in his life.
