Welcome descendants of Andrew and Siddie Smith

Some of the cousins got together for a "family history conference" in St George and we were inspired there and one of the classes we attended taught several of us how to blog so we are attempting a blog.  We have high hopes that this blog will allow us to collect family stories. (we all know that we have the best stories)  We had Aunt Genevie, Danny Morris, Danny's daughter Terrilynn Johannessen, Lorri Bradshaw, Celia Monroe, Terry Monroe, Linda Foy, Twila Owens, Peggy Broadway, Carol Dopp, and Doris Moore. When the cousins got together in the evenings the laughter and stories were the best. After the first night Peggy got the idea to record the evening.  She bought a recorder at Staples and Saturday night asked everyone if it was ok to turn it on. No one cared, so now she has a recording of a delightful evening.  She is going to transcribe the recording so it can be shared with everyone that wasn't able to be there. 

We are still trying to figure out the blog and the details of how this will work so until we have a better plan and if you have a story we can post just write it and email it to cltpsmith@gmail.com

Disclaimer:
This is for stories and to bring us all closer together.  We know that everyone remembers things differently, if the story is different than you may remember it, you tell us the story again the way you remember it. That is what makes it fun.  We want to include everyone so please enjoy the stories and tell us how we can make this the best family blog ever.  We may want to turn it into a book later.  We want to use it as a reunion forum also.

Thanks from the "New Generation Aunties" aka the "Blackfoot Tribe" aka "Baldwin Sisters"
