Haven’t been on here for awhile because I simply haven’t been traveling. However, we are never idle over here and I did end up taking a trip up north to Canada recently to sell my childhood home. 🥲 Was emotional and exciting and a lot of hard work. I have many great memories from my time at 1 Massey Street. I feel like moving and packing up a house is a huge part of your own personal history and should be recorded and shared for your posterity. I hope one day my children will return to the country and area I was born and raised in to discover the places I played as a young child , explored in my teenage years and enjoyed as a young mom before I moved to another country. Brampton, Ontario will always have a special place in my heart and will be a part of my personal history forever. Who else has had to move and sell their childhood home. Was it hard or easy? Emotional or no big deal? Interested to know what experiences others have had. #

The Pearl Theater was originally a Roman Catholic Church in Bonners Ferry when it opened in 1894. After many alterations, the church was resurrected and renovated into a community theater. It’s amazing all the little pieces of history we can find right in our own backyards! I Enjoyed touring this little town in northern Idaho. It was pretty Smokey from the fires, but we happened upon the county fair and learned a lot about the area and history. Bonner County got its name from a man named Edwin Bonner. Back in the year 1863, thousands of prospectors flooded from the west on route to the North, over the course now know as the Wildhorse Trail. This sudden movement had been inspired by the discovery of large amounts of gold in the East Kootenais of British Columbia. In 1864 a man by the name of Edwin Bonner, as an enterprising merchant, constructed the ferry where the trail crossed the broad Kootenai River. Following this, in 1875 Richard Fry leased the business, and despite the change the location retained the name of the original founder, soon thereafter becoming the town know as Bonners Ferry.

Had a fantastic time taking some youth to the FamilySearch] building in Lehi last night. It was the best activity they said they had all year ❤️ However, a lot of preparation went into this event. For the past several months we have been logging in our laptops , iPads and iPhones, learning to navigate FamilySearch] and all the apps so when we went to the facility the girls confidently took off on their own with few problems. The most successful family history activities are ones that are spent with behind the scenes preparation. Please reach out if you are interested in learning how to get your youth involved and excited about Family History! I would love to help light the fire🔥

FINALLY TRAVELED 🧳!!! I was so happy to get on a plane again and fly somewhere! Even though none of my ancestors migrated to Alaska, I was able to visit an amazing little town and tour a property that has stayed in the same family for generations! The family still lives on the property but has opened it up to allow people to walk around and see all of the original buildings and items they have never thrown away! A history majors dream! So fun to be there and see what was brought with them when they immigrated from Norway to Alaska in the 1800’s! The Norwegian flag still flies proud over the homestead! Such a neat experience and after a year and a half of being dormant, this filled my cup! I booked two more trips already currently looking for a third, any suggestions?😂😂😂 #

How awesome! Had to stop and take a pic of these cute kids dressed as pioneers and pulling handcarts around town as part of the Utah curriculum to teach about the pioneers that settled Utah and the Great Plains. I would have loved this hands on learning experience as a kid! They were having a blast! History can be fun folks! How many of you have pioneer ancestry? I don’t as my ancestors immigrated from Hungary and England and Wales and then settled in Ontario, Canada.

Came up on my memories today from May 2018❤️ Found this gorgeous cemetery on my exploratory trip to Iceland. Did you know Iceland is known as one of the youngest landmasses on the planet and was one of the last places on earth to be settled by humans. Surprisingly, over 1,100 years ago Vikings from Norway discovered Iceland by accident. I thought I would never venture here in my life but had a three day lay over on my way to France. Well worth it if you can take a few days to explore. Loved discovering some of the history of this country and their graveyard in the city is amazing for all you cemetery enthusiasts ❤️

Not my family story but The Chamberlain family story was super interesting to learn about An Amazing piece of family history, one of the Grandsons works the cave While a few nephews keep busy selling coca colas at the bar that John Wayne actually sat at :) super cool place to stop at if your in the area, tons of Native American artifacts and dinosaur tracks are housed here. Thomas Chamberlain had 6 wives and a huge posterity. One of his wives was the first woman mayor in this area. Worth a visit and the 7 bucks to get in!

A families story can be told many ways. Found these petroglyphs on our hike in Moab Utah this past weekend. Some of the best I have seen! I Wonder what they were telling their posterity? Love exploring new places and the history of people from long ago!
