Cute Pic of Grandma Marge

I liked student government, too. No wonder I was her favorite.

(I think this was at Utah State)

Why this blog?

Last spring I was asked to speak at Stake Conference on family history and temple work. I guess they thought I knew something because of my indexing obsession a few years ago. But I hadn't done much in the realm of Family History. I come from one of those families where both sides were saturated with genealogists. My patriarchal blessing spoke of Family History but I imagined it would be something I'd do in a more, um, boring "season" in my life.

I started working on my talk and found the quotes on the side of this page. I wanted that protection for my kids so we all began to work on it together. Sienna is especially on fire. We find stories and rush to share them with each other. Our angle for now is just learning about our ancestors and who they were. If we find a name or two to take to the temple along the way - even better!

So here's a smattering of Stroud and Price stories and pictures, etc., as we come across them. Stroud stories are blue and Price stories are red. Some of our own stories will also be strewn throughout.

From Elder Bednar:

As you respond in faith to this invitation, your hearts shall turn to the fathers. The promises made to Abraham, Isaac, and Jacob will be implanted in your hearts. Your patriarchal blessing, with its declaration of lineage, will link you to these fathers and be more meaningful to you. Your love and gratitude for your ancestors will increase. Your testimony of and conversion to the Savior will become deep and abiding. And I promise you will be protected against the intensifying influence of the adversary. As you participate in and love this holy work, you will be safeguarded in your youth and throughout your lives.
