On Saturday Kyle and Shaylyn Nockideneh will be baptized. While each was being interviewed the others were creating a family tree. Sandra. Kyle and Shayln's mom, was working on the file when two other relatives wandered by and were invited to help out with what they knew.
It was so fun. They were making phone calls and asking for birth dates and death dates and the folks were sharing everything they asked for, it was awesome. They entered 34 names and Shaylyn has 4 generations on her pedigree chart.
The Elders did a mini lesson on the importance of family history and shared several scriptures with Sandra and Shaylyn and what they needed to do to in order to take some of their ancestors to the Temple in March. They were both excited about that. The other two ladies were just excited to see the tree growing.
Around 7 Sandra remembered that they had planned to go to the Provident Living class on budgeting money, so they finished one more name and slipped off to class.
Sandra has some funeral programs at home and she plans to bring them in and add more names and dates. I know the pictures show just a few people, but there were several unseen ancestors encouraging from beyond the veil in there also.
