Family History I am doing it my family history

That primary song has been stuck in my head all week as I have been working on a family history project.  A while ago I had this idea to make a family history memory game.  I made the memory cards three years ago but ran out of steam to make the photo book that goes along with them.  That steam came back this week. Here are the memory tiles of my Anderson ancestors


I know NO ONE will be as remotely as excited as I am about this project but I'm telling you, it has brought me so. much. joy!

I haven't ordered the photo book yet...my sisters are proofreading since they are much more grammatically skilled than I am.

I have learned so much about my ancestors.  When they joined the church some left for America as soon as possible.  Some waited years.  Some traveled with their families, some went alone.  Axeline Nielsen left her family in Copenhagen when she was only 18 to join the saints in Utah and to marry a man she'd met several months before.  How brave is that?  I also found out that there is a history of twins in my family.  The Cleverly's had several sets of twins.  I don't know if that's too far back to be related to me having twins, but it was fun to see.
