Questions for Barbara


Does Erin like the new school and has she adjusted to the change?

Is Bree going to get the money for selling all the homes? Did she make the sale completely or was it partially a company thing so that they will take the money and she won't get it? I have been hoping that the money will really come through for them.

In addition, I was wondering if you could open the newsletter from the Trauntvein family that I sent to you. Would you prefer a hard copy?

Love you, Myrna

Louise Edwards Nelson


Myrna, We spoke briefly at your father's funeral. I am Louise Edwards Nelson. My father was Vernon Edwards, your grandma Pitts' brother.

My father was killed in a farm accident when I was 16 years old. I am ashamed to realize recently that none of my children or my brothers children ever knew their grandfather Edwards, and never will know anything about him if I do not try to gather and put together something.
My father was always one to make sure that we kept in touch with family, but I am sorry to say that after he was killed we did not stay in close touch with his side of the family with the exception of brothers and sisters.
They tell me that you are the genelogist in your family and that you may have some information that I could use. I am hoping. What I am looking for is any information or stories about your grandmother Pitts family when she was young and the children were growing up out in the Uintah Basin. Anything that Tom Pitts may have written or told about their early marriage and freighting between Myton and Helper.
Your father was only nine years younger than my father. I know that they worked together as they got older and if you have any mention of my father there, or any stories of when they were kids, I would really appreciate hearing them.
Uncle Charles was 15 years younger that my dad so he knows nothing of my dad's childhood.
Please let me know if you might have anything that I could use in my father's history or if you know of anyone that might.
Thank You Louise Nelson lnelson@networld.com
Louise: I do have some things. I was wondering if you would mind being a bit patient with me. The sisters and I are trying to empty out Dad's house so that we can sell it. I think we are planning to be done somewhere around the first week of December. Give me a bit of time and I will get some things together for you.
