family history project

It's General Conference weekend, and I'm currently watching the World Report between sessions. There was a short thing about family history and a comment about how family history is getting a new surge through social media. We've talked about what to do with this blog since it's been pretty dead since we all got on Facebook.

My thought, actually a year or two ago also at General Conference but I never did anything about it, is to use this as our family history repository, and answer questions about current things so 1. we can get to know each other better (for example, cousins that still haven't met yet and new uncles) and 2. so we have it for the future. To start, I'll post a question about once a month for everyone to answer. I hope everyone will participate but obviously this is optional. It would be cool to have all the kids give their own answers, because one thing is for sure with at least my kids - even when they're talking about the same thing, they give very different answers. I'd also love for anyone who is working on family history to post things that they've found on here so the rest of us can learn our distant family history as well. Summaries of what we know about our early history would be good, like the letters Mom sent out just before our first Nauvoo reunion. I found some of the papers she sent the other day, but having them online where they can be accessed would be good too.

So here's our first question:
