2055: About Temple Names!




Above, Wayne at our 60th wedding anniversary!--I'm trying to remember how to do this!


 2055--I'm confused!

I have been trying to print a name for me to take to the Layton Temple tomorrow with our group from Fairfield Assisted Living in Layton.  I printed a name and it just doesn't add up!  

The Family Search gave me a name which says it is my 3rd cousin once removed, but the ancestor which says it is our comon ancestor isn't married to my great grandfather!  I need to go to the Family History Library here in Layton and get some help by someone in the staff at that Library!  I have the name printed, but I'm not going to do the Temple work for that woman tomorrow.  I know that names are sometimes put in the Family Search incorrectly!  My time is valuable when I can go only 2 times a month, and I want it to be absolutely correct!

Have any of you had that kind of feeling on a name you wanted to do Temple work for, and just don't know for sure if it is correct?

My e mail is --  paralee.eckman@gmail.com

If any of you would like to advise me, feel free to contact me, please!

I am 90 years old and I will be 91 on October 6, 2025!  I want to be sure my time is used to the best advantage!

As a picture, I'm going to post my marriage picture, with Wayne D Eckman.  We were married in the St. George Temple, September 24, 1955!  He passed away on 21 February 2026, after 60 years and 5 months of marriage!

Actually, I can't do that now, as I have forgotten how, and need to fix my Google Account!

2059: April's Fool's Day! April 1, 2026!

Image
2059: I'm starting to write about my son, Wayne, and his wife Julie, and going on their mission to the historic sites in New York, and Pennsylvania.  They leave to go into the MTC on Monday, April 27th, 2026.  Their farewell is on Sunday April 26th, the day before. This is my husband Wayne, and his twin Blaine on the left. in their high school yearbook, probably 1950, as seniors.  Today is April Fool's Day, 2026, 76 years later! Wayne and Blaine were both pranksters! This story happened, probably in the 1960's or 1970's. Blaine was teaching in Las Vegas, and Wayne in the Jordan School District in the Salt Lake City area. Blaine had told his principal, in the school where he taught, that he had been in touch with a Hungarian educator, and that he was coming to visit their school on April 1, 1965? (Whatever day it was that year) and he wanted to check out their school.)  His name was Lirpa Loof!  So the who school was primed to be very polite ad attentive to Lirpa...

155. Anthony Jansen Van Sallee, son of the Pirate King, and a character himself!

                 ANTHONY JANSEN VAN SALLEE, 1607-1676                              by Hazel Van Dyke Roberts, PH.D.   I'm using the historical writing of Hazel Roberts, as she did a lot of research on it.  Anthony was the son of the Pirate King, Jan Jansen, told about in the last entry, # 154.  This is about an interesting part of early New England History.  New Amsterdam became the city New York when the English conquered the Dutch in 1664.       Anthony Jansen Van Salee was a unique, interesting, and  important figure in the early history of New Amsterdam,  He has been found to be the most unusual and interesting figure in the New Amsterdam records . Contentious and obviously a nuisance to them, he was treated by the authorities with the respect due to a person of importance.  It is speculated that Anthony’s ...

721. President Russell M. Nelson: 'Joy and Spiritual Survival', thoughts from his General Conference talk.

Image
At this point in time, I believe President Nelson's talk has more significance than ever before.  (Notes about it below!)   Let's be joyful, and know that our Heavenly Father will continue to guide us, and help us during whatever stressful times are ahead.   I'm going to northern Utah today with my sister Vina, to see our beloved sister Mavis, for the weekend and go to Mavis's grandson's wedding.  Aren't family wonderful! ! !  We have been very close as sisters, and have 3 way conversations often. Below are pictures of us younger.  You can probably tell which are which, Vina on the left, Mavis in the center, and me on the right in the top one.  I know we have a picture taken in the last few years with my white hair, and Vina's light also, but I couldn't find it quickly.  I'll take some this weekend! As we were growing up we sang trios in many places!   A couple of nights ago I had a call from a lady I ha...
