Hello to everyone, With Cynthia's posting of the new Obituaries and Life Sketches of Early Saints I'm wondering how many one this line are doing research from Lake County through to Salt Lake? I'm following John YOUNG Sr. who died in Quincey Ill. on the trail, his son John Jr and John Junior's daughters Candace and Caroline. Candace married John JEWELL in Painesville and I think left with her father John, husband and daughter Adeline JEWELL in 1847 bound for Nauvoo. I'm guessing since no record in Lake County can be found that she then married Mr. Dresser and returns to Lake County in 1853 with two daughters Adeline Jewell and Amanda Dresser. She then married Rolly Eddy. Her sister Caroline married Martin Harris one of the three witnesses to the Book of Mormon. Perhaps those researching Kirtland LDS can advice others on the availability of records in other states. Thanks, Cindy --- Outgoing mail is certified Virus Free.

Cindy; Years ago I found that you can access personal Mormon records from the LDS by ordering them through the FHC. I could find nothing on my Williams family, and found a brother who had gone to Salt Lake. I sent for his papers and was able to get info on his ancestors. You might try that....get help from the volunteers at your FHC. Sandy McSpadden.
