Elizabeth STANDISH (1510)

I was browsing this line last night and discovered a problem that I want to go back and address. Elizabeth's supposed dad, Roger is only seven years older than she is. That's a possible mistake.

I checked the IGI. Almost everyone has made this same mistake. One listing put Elizabeth as Ralph STANDISH and Alice HARRINGTON's daughter. I'll leave my records to reflect this, but it probably needs to be verified.

Sanford BINGHAM

There is some history about Sanford here on this page, though it is mainly regarding the Lewis line, which is not ours.

Samuel SINFIELD & Hannah MIDDLETON

It is interesting to me that on the same day that Samuel & Hannah were sealed, they were also sealed to both of their previous spouses (Hannah to Foster & Samuel to Phoebe). They also acted in proxy to seal Hannah's previous husband Foster to his previous wife (also named Hannah) that died before he married Hannah, my grandmother.

Samuel SINFIELD

I found this entry today at http://books.google.com/books?id=XqW19LTtgfIC&pg=PA2346&lpg=PA2346&dq=%22samuel+sinfield%22+1820&source=web&ots=HRv4SZdlQ7&sig=HRczTFxT3YL6GgaZYHKgeoqAw0Q#PPA2346,M1

Born: 8 Mar 1820, Eversholt, Bedford, England
Parents: William and Elizabeth Pepper Sinfield
Died: 18 Feb 1904, Paradise, Cache, Utah

Born: 25 Oct 1822, Sunderland, Durham, England
Parents: John and Margaret Alderson Middleton
Died: 28 Apr 1903, Paradise, Utah

Samuel and Phoebe were baptized in 1842 and made plans to leave for Zion as soon as possible. One week before they were to leave, phoebe died. Samuel didn't change his mind. A little later, he and his two daughters sailed for America.

Upon reaching the Valley, he went on to Ogden where he located a farm. In 1857, he married Hannah, a widow with two small daughters.

When Samuel learned that the railroad would be coming to Utah, he traded his property for a log home in Paradise, Utah. They moved in 1869 to escape the "bad influence" he felt the railroad would bring. He was a very devout and serious person. he was strict with his children and very frugal.

He was a high priest in his ward when he died. Hannah died 10 months before he did.

Vent

As I have worked to confirm ordinances, I'm always surprised to see so much work redone and redone again (in some cases as many as 10 times). Most of my recent ancestors (up to and including almost all of my Great-Great Grandparents) did their own ordinances while they were alive. Some of my Great-Great-Great Grandparents even did their own work. Though there are mistakes in the Temple Ordinance Records, it is usually pretty easy to match names and see that the work has already been done.

I realize that for years, Temple Ordinance Records were only updated irregularly and were difficult to access. Because of that, work that needed to be done was often duplicated. But now, those Ordinance records are updated almost in real time -- and are easily accessed on the internet. There really isn't any reason that these already completed and recorded ordinances should be redone. A recent example is that work on my Grandma Coombs (who just died 11 years ago) is already being redone -- as recently as 2002. Her name was resubmitted with an incorrect birthplace. Careful checks in the Ordinance Records would have showed that she had completed all of her own ordinances while living.

We receive blessings in our lives just for attending the temple. But redoing ordinances takes hours of proxy time that could be used for someone who actually needs the work done.

Stepping off my soap-box. :o)

Myrthus & Felton

In prior research, I discovered that Josiah HICKMAN had married his third wife, Helen Josephine HANSON, after the manifesto (in Mexico in 1902). After some calls to Family History Centers and eventually to the temple, I discovered that all sealings like this would have to be redone. Everything else had been redone -- except Myrthus & Felton had not been resealed to their parents. I originally made a disk and took it to the temple to do the work. I was surprised, though, that my disk wouldn't work. Because of this, I felt that it was not my place to do this work, but rather was for their direct ancestors. I was please to see, while working this week, that the work has been redone during the past year.

Confirming Ordinances

I've been working on the Tams line this week. After struggling at the ends of the line and not finding any links, I've decided to change my approach. I am working from my closest ancestors. I am 1) Confirming that all of their ordinances are done and 2) Confirming that all of their children's ordinances are done (including sealed to spouse). So far I have confirmed up to my Great-Great Grandparents on the Tams line (Elijah TAMS etc.). I am waiting, though, for some information on Boston & Leon Richman (Leon is the son of John William RICHMAN & Jane Charlotte SINFIELD -- and the brother of Zoe Sinfield RICHMAN). I can't find information on Leon's descendants -- but did find a website of a "Lynn RICHMAN" which has pictures suggesting they are descendants. Temple Ordinance Records show that Boston & Leon received their endowments on the same day that they were married -- which suggests to me that they were also sealed that day. However, the Ordinance Records do not show a "Sealed to Spouse." I sent an email to that site -- hoping for a positive indication that they were sealed (I'm 99% sure that they were).

Harold Ross COOMBS & Lois Jane WATT

Harold Ross COOMBS & Lois Jane WATT are buried in the SW corner of the Honeyville Cemetary.

Missing Photographs

On the TAMS line, I am still missing photographs of the burial markers for:

Thomas TAMS & Margaret HOMER (both died in Stafforshire, England).
John RICHMAN & Sarah Ann STEPHENSON (both died in Fremont, Idaho & buried in Teton-Newdale Cemetery).
Christopher Marinus OLSEN & Caroline Sophia JENSEN (He is buried in Richmond, Utah -- I can't figure out where she died/was buried).

Hans JENSEN (Caroline Sophia JENSEN's father) may be buried in Hyrum, Utah.
