About Temple Names!

 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 wil 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 Tempe, 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!

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 ...

2008. President and Sister Nelson and the Restoration of Identity By Patrick D. Degn · May 23, 2022

  President and Sister Nelson and the Restoration of Identity  By  Patrick D. Degn  · May 23, 2022 “No natural feelings are high or low, holy or unholy, in themselves. They are all holy when God’s hand is on the rein. They all go bad when they set up on their own and make themselves into false gods.” [1] May 15 marked the anniversary of the restoration of the Aaronic Priesthood and two landmark addresses from our beloved Prophet and Sister Nelson. [2]  To say Sister Wendy Nelson “hit it out of the park” would be simplistic at best. However, after hearing President Nelson’s address, it seems to me Sister Nelson’s most evocative question encompasses everything President Nelson taught that evening. Indeed, what President Nelson’s discourse accomplished, gave us a vision of heaven, clarity on the unity of the Godhead, and a renewed vision of our identity. President and Sister Nelson were nothing short of prophetic. In providing such an analysis and gushing review, I...

66. Colorful ancestor, John Lowe Butler, Bodyguard to Joseph Smith

Image
My second great grandfather on my mother's side lived quite an amazing life.  He had many health problems in his life, and yet he became strong enough to be one of the Prophet Joseph Smith's bodyguards in the last years of the Prophet's life.  His Gallitan, Missouri, fight incident is well known in Church  history.          John Lowe Butler, was born Apr, 8, 1808, in  Kentucky, to James and Charity Lowe Butler.  He was not a healthy child.  When he was seven years old he was stricken with inflammatory rheumatism which spread over his body from his toes to his fingertips.  This disease returned once or twice a year until he was 20.  When he was 19, the pain settled in his left side and his thigh and his arm began to fail him.  John became so frail that his mother could carry him about in her arms.  In spite of his long, continued illness, he stood six feet tall when he was 22. His extensive autobiography shows...
