Answer 7

Yes. My father's family members were Mormon pioneers, with many stories!  All immigrated from England, if you go back far enough. Some crossed in covered wagons to Utah. Others used handcarts. Several were orphaned by the time they arrived. Some were burnt out of Nauvoo.

Answer 9

I am interested in joining the project and have an interest in Mormon history. I was raised in the Church and my ancestors were early members of the Church. I have many Mormon pioneers in my family tree. You might say that there is no area of Mormon history that did not include one of my family members. I would love to take part in the project. Please feel free to look through the Sanders side of my family tree for more details (my Mom's paternal line).

How fun!! Your 3rd great grandmother was my 2nd great grandfather's half sister! When I run into other Stewarts at the cemetery, the question is always "which wife do you come from?" Fun story: I have Benjamin Franklin Stewart's nose. Dang it. Lol.
