What a journey this has been, My Mother is probably chuckling over the things I have learned. Having been taken down many paths I would never have suspected existed, I am proud to say my ancestry goes back at least six generations on both sides of the Family in our country.
I fully understood I would be searching for the spirits of my ancestors. Little did I know how much of a spiritual voyage it would be.
My second Great Grandfather, George, disappeared from NY about 1830. It is at this time that my research opens up an area of great awakening for me.
I find him next in 1839 at Nauvoo, Illinois with the LDS church, formed by Joseph Smith Jr. In NY.
George and his wife Sophia are mentioned in “The History of the Church”.
This has led to an ongoing study of the LDS and their beliefs which in turn is bringing me back to the Lord, in a " John Walton " way
I have chosen to remain a " Jack Mormon" in the true historical sense of the word.

I admire anyone who is following their spiritual path. It is an adventure and we really never do know what is on the other side of the mountain. Keep trekking.
