Wow - Thanks Joy!

I think I'm related to half of Utah, and probably Idaho.

Some of my gg(umpty?) uncles helped quarry the stone for and build the Tabernacle in Salt Lake City.

I'm never rude to the Door Knockers, but often wonder if the LDS ones could be distant cousins........... I don't ask.

Good one! Thanks, Joy.

There are some additional records at:
http://archives.utah.gov/digital/index.html

In particular, Ogden city births 1890-1905, Sanpete Co b's & d's 1898-1904, and statewide births 1905.
Sanpete Co is 75-130 m S of Salt Lake City

Thanx just seen this vvvvvvvvvv useful :-)

Joy, that site is so good. My interest in genealogy extends beyond names, I like all the social history attached. They should teach it in schools.

As a former nurse/midwife I am always interested in this area so I felt for a Midwife, Emma Nicholls, whose name is recorded on many Stillbirth certificates and also maternal deaths.

In over 20 yrs of work I did deliver quite a few stillbirths but only ever had to deal with 1 maternal death which was extremely traumatic.

thanks again for the tip, Jennifer

I can empathise with that, Jennifer :-)

Joy what a fantastic site. Just wish more of mine had gone to Utah.

Only someone interested in geneaolgy could say this but just had a great 2 hrs looking at Death Certificates!

Thanks for this thread, yet more happy hours searching

A wonderful Christmas present indeed :-)

Thank you for posting that.

Hi ,
just to update you.
What a wonderful lady 'Eastender ' is.
She has helped me with my ancestors who emigrated to Salt Lake via Canada and has visited the cemetery where they are buried.

After the holidays she is sending me not only the photo of my relatives grave but also that of her husband, their son and his wife, who were all next to each other.

I have thanked her privately, but would like to do so on this thread also.

A wonderful Christmas present , thankyou.

I am very pleased that you found them :-)

Hi, tried the Ellis Island sit, got nowhere, so put a message on ancestry.

BINGO

Got a reply. The family travelled from Liverpool to Salt Lake via QUEBEC !!!

Thankyou for all your advice have stored it for future use.
Regards Sylvia.
