If you aren't watching NBC's "Who do you think you are?" You are really missing out! If have missed these shows, you can get caught up online at NBC.com or at Hulu.com. Check it out and spread the word! This is some of the best television I have ever seen. Jessica and I just love each episode.
Family History is pretty amazing stuff! I am excited for a 3rd cousin of mine who wrote a book about my Albrecht ancestors, which I read and really enjoyed. She is doing a speaking tour about family history and she'll be in Bountiful the first weekend in March.
At my new job in Salt Lake, a gal I have worked with for a couple months noticed my last name for the first time and said that she had a grandmother that was a Mortensen. I asked her name and her husbands name, and in just a couple minutes on www.FamilySearch.org I was able to find out that she is my 3rd cousin. Peder Mortensen and Jensina Katrina Lind are our common ancestors. She is descended from Peter Alonzo Mortensen where my side is from his brother Robert Benjamin for whom my dad, me, and my son Robert Kyle are named.
Family connections are so cool...plus this all leads to the most important family connections welded together for eternity in the holy temple.
