Come After Us

"Come After Us" is a wonderful book. It is a biography of Nicholas Thomas Silcock and Jane Heath. The time & research that Mr. Melvin Banner put into this project is praiseworthy. I have enjoyed the portions I have been able to read so far.

When Mr. Banner began this project, he and others searched for the descendants of Nicholas Thomas & Jane Silcock. He would like their story to be in the hands of as many of their descendants as possible. However, they were only able to locate 3 Hendersons. So this book has not been seen by more than 3 of Alexander & Almira Henderson's descendants. (And they had 13 children!) If you are interested in having your own copy or finding out more about the book, please comment or e-mail me at funseekerfamilyhistory@gmail.com.

Memorial Day

Are you headed to the cemetery this weekend?

If so, this list might be of interest to you.

A few months ago I thought it would be interesting to find out where our ancestors are buried. I had some information, but I started seeking out more. Many of our ancestors are buried in Salt Lake City Cemetery, but as that is an enormous cemetery, I found out the grave “addresses” as well.

I aspire to taking my children up there this summer to find and take pictures of all of the grave markers…but if any of you get there first…send me the pictures!

Here I have listed all of the names of our grandparents in each generation, some of which I have yet to find out exactly where they are buried. If you know…PLEASE let me know, so I don’t have to try and research it all.

I have changed the font to Green for Salt Lake City Cemetery Information.

I have much more information about all these people, but here I have only included Burial Information that I have. I have also linked some of the names to other posts I have made about them. So if you click on a name that is underlined, it will take you to more information about that person.

Taking a vaction

I am taking a small vacation from this blog. I recently acquired a large box of family photos from my husband's side of the family. I need to scan them all and get them back to his grandparents as soon as possible.

In the meantime, if you have a photo or story that you would like to share, e-mail me and I will post it. I am especially interested in finding out more about the Keysor, Wylie, Eddington, and Barton & Morris families.
Otherwise check back in June!
