About Richard Dixon/Camping

Richard Dixon has lymphoma. Aunt Eva said he had been having trouble with his back and they found out that was why. He had a cancer there. Jim flew out to be with him. He has a high likelihood of getting better but the cancer is all through his lymph nodes. Jim called Auntie a few weeks ago and told her that she should stop using the credit card that Richard had given her and had been paying for for many, many years so she could pay for her meds, groceries and other basic needs. He wouldn't tell her why. She said she now knew. But, when Richard found out what Jim had told her, he called and told her that she should still use the card. He was paying off all of his debts, true, but did not consider her a debt. At any rate, Auntie Eva wanted me to tell you this news and also ask you all to pray for him.

I also have a question. Are we, any of us, getting together for Labor Day this year?

We are going to be at Jackson Hole for Labor day this year.

We are back home!

We got home at 9:50 p.m. We have carried in the luggage and I am settling down to write news. We had a great time at Todd and family's home. We just wanted you all to know that we are here and safe.

We had a delay in boarding at AZ. Some folks, who had to meet flights in other places, were rerouted. We were direct. Then, the plane lost one of the instruments that helps it fly at high altitude. It had to drop down into a zone where the airports could assist it with that problem. The pilot explained that it always takes longer when we fly lower. Auntie parked in the pre-airport area and waited until the flight landed. Then we could not find our luggage (we were among the first off the plane). When it did not come around, Dad and I went to the office. There it was sitting. We are not certain how it made it to the airport before we did.

Love to all.

Myrna wrote: I am your Facebook friend who suggested other family members for you and caused trouble. I am Myrna Trauntvein, wife of Leonard Trauntvein, cousin of Neldon. Eva Dixon, Helen Trauntvein and Don Trauntvein are Leonard's siblings. They are the children of Jens Henry Martin and Gladys Rostron Trauntvein. They had a baby brother, James, who died shortly after birth. In birth order they are: James, Eva, Helen, Don and Leonard. We have eight children: Shawn, Melanie, Todd, Eric, AnnMarie, Julie, Kirsten and David. All of them are married and we have 33 grandchildren. Neldon's father and my husband's father were brothers. Neldon's father was also Neldon (Uncle Ned). He was killed (Uncle Ned) when the mine caved in on him. Neldon, the son, was just a baby then.

You can find it at: http://trauntveinhome.blogspot.com/?zx=4895bd3f60185d27. It may not have anything of interest to you. I have not posted since May but will be doing so in the next few weeks.

My Name is Vivian Fivecoat

Hi

My name is Vivian Fivecoat and I am trying to put together a family genealogy book and I think we may be related albeit distance wise.  My grandparents on my maternal side were Earl George and Chasta Jean Stevenson.  They had a large family.  My mother Darlene Jean Stevenson was one daughter another was Betty Trauntvien who was married to a Mr. Trauntvien.  They had a son named Neldon Lee Trauntvien who married a woman named Linda.  They had three daughters that I know of Linda Lee, Bridgette and Yvette. 

Can you / would you help me fill in the blanks?  My plans are one or two pages of history bio on each family member along with pictures and copies of birth marriage death certificates.

If we are related can you / would you please send me any of the above documents (copies of course)  filling in any missing information.

I have a “tree” started on genealogy.com

September Diabetes Class Invitation Response

Just emailing you to remind you about our upcoming classes. Thursday 9/6 at 6:00 p.m. - diabetes 101 Thursday 9/13 at 6:00 p.m. - healthy eating/cooking class Hope all is well, Landon Santaquin Pharmacy & Diabetes Center Myrna: Thank you! I really wanted to meet with the dietician. Will she be available on both of those evenings? Landon Hatfield wrote: As I told you on the telephone. She will not be. There is a diabetes class on Wed 9/5 covering physical activity if you're interested. Thanks. Myrna wrote: Thank you. I am not certain I am interested in that one. I will keep walking daily for 30 minutes which, each day, means I have to go farther because I am walking faster. I also garden and do stairs (lots and lots of stairs) but I have always done that or, at least, for the past 12 years. I also have worked Yoga into my routine. I will do Yoga as does one of my daughters in case of rain. I have a couple of DVDs. My daughter is very good at it and I can talk to her. I can usually walk here in Nephi even in the snow. The high school also has an indoor track. I am not worried about the activity now that I am converted to it. I have a tendency to be very OCD about making life-style changes when someone convinces me I need to do so. I am very hopeful of meeting with a registered dietician which has been of untold help to two of my daughters. Neither of them are diabetic but neither of them wants to be. I hope you can help me with that. On of the girl's dietitian (whom she sees monthly) figured out a diet plan for her and helped with the exchange program individualizing it to her. As I have been investigating what I should do, it appears that both BYU and UVSU have diabetics nutrition classes for credit. Of course, I would need to register and pay tuition. I am still angry with myself for using my hypothyroidism as an excuse to put on 20 pounds. I was just so tired all of the time. Weary. I was weary. I see an excellent doctor in Utah Valley for that problem but she did not excuse the weight gain and I should have listened. It took awhile to get the meds regulated but I seem to be doing well with that now. At any rate, thank you.

Henry John Lubbe

Myrna wrote: I am seeking help in finding a marriage date for the following couple.

Husband
Name: Henry John Lubbe
Birth: 11 Oct 1879--Germany
Death: 30 Aug 1969--San Francisco, San Francisco, California, United States of America
Wife:
Kunigunda Zahn
Born: 19 Jan 1889--Germany
Died: 27 Apr 1945--San Francisco, California

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.

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. Annette Morley wrote: Hi Myrna--It actually worked out just fine. We even had some of the meat Sister Carter made left over. Don't worry about it--and have a wonderful time! Love, Annette 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.
