I actually have two problems. The first one is that in order to seal the above couple I have to have a marriage date. I can't find one. I thought that I might look it up in a newspaper but I can't find an online archive. I went to BYU and they do not have newspapers on film for the approximate time I need. He came to the US in 1903. They were married by 1910 when the first child was born, my uncle's sister. I should have asked more questions while people were alive. They may not have answered anyway. They were faithful Catholics, as are my cousins. We are going to seal my father to my mother and me to them. I thought while we were doing this we could also do the work for my dear aunts and uncles on my father's side. Then the thought came that we could also do work for the parents of my one uncle. There is where the problem comes. I can do the temple work for each of them but I cannot seal them. That seems sad because they were so devoted to each other.
The person that I cannot find is the father of Howard Alfred Hohnstein. I have a last name and an approximate birth date of 1892. I think he was born in Nebraska. Howard was born there on 30 Jan 1912. Howard died on 17 Jan in Santa Rosa, Sonoma, California. He was married to Wilma I Simmons. He was her second husband. She is buried in Brush, Colorado beside her first husband. She died in 1962.
It would help if I had a first name, right? I don't have one. He is my daughter-in-law's great-grandfather. I told her I would try and find the information for her because she is so wanting to be part of something. We have been doing genealogy in my family for generations and we have accumulated quite a bit. Not all, but quite a lot. (You are never done, right?) She knows nothing about her family. She would like to know, so I am working. At any rate, I thought I might find a printed obituary for Howard and that might give the names of his parents. That may be a start. Don't wear yourself out with this. I have spent countless fruitless hours with no result.
Thanks.

I hope you had a wonderful trip to Ohio. David's Chase was set apart Tuesday evening. What an amazing blessing his Stake Pres. gave him. He flew to Preston, Eng. MTC Wed A.M. and would arrive there Thursday. He was excited. love you both, Eva

She did not give me her email address, but I gave her mine.

My home address is 430 Deepwood trail Clarksville TN 37042 for any paper stuff you have. My thought was to create a book with a picture and couple of pages of information on each relative I find.
Some family recommendations made by you reported me to Facebook. I almost lost my account but it's ok. I do have email: 1mimif@att.net. That is my email address.

My face is red and I am sorry!
Myrna wrote: I cannot believe that I emailed the recipe to Julie and asked her to have it there on SATURDAY instead of Friday. I am so sorry. Were you able to get something else to fill in? I hope that the party was a success and not a failure because of my mind disfunction. It just boggles my mind that I did that. I don't know how to do anything about it except to say that I am sorry. I will apologize to all when I get back. I will be there for our next shift (unless I am fired) and will be willing to tell everyone what a nut I was. I don't know what else I can even do about it except to say that I am so very sorry.

Myrna wrote: Thank you for letting me know! I have been so worried but there was not much I could do from here. I was hoping that one of you had made a quick run to Manti Market and purchased some already prepared pulled pork. Nevertheless, I have been so concerned that my son asked me to put it behind me and quit worrying out loud. I love you.
