Two weeks till Ireland!

I cannot wait to see the places my ancestors were born, married, worked, and lived in the Emerald Isle! Mainly spending time in Northern Ireland, still part of the U.K., we have planned multiple research sights, towns, churches, and Heritage Centers to visit!

Pocket Watch

I found all the artifacts of my pioneer ancestors today at the Daughters of the Utah Pioneers Museum in Salt Lake City. Cool stuff!

This pocket watch belonged to my 4th great-grandmother Mary Barr Neff.  The watch was handed down to her through several generations and THEN made it safely across the plains. Beautiful!
