This summer I have the privilege of going to Nauvoo for a youth conference. During this trip, we will visit the Nauvoo temple and be able to do baptisms for the dead. We are encouraged to bring ten names, and I am very happy because I just found the 10th one today.
In case any of you care, these are the names:
~John T. Hubbard~
~Richard Newton~
~Alexander Betterton~
~William Sutcliff Minard~ ( one of the harder ones, but I found him on a cemetery record)
~Robert Burnaby~
~Levi Minard~ ( inventor of Minard's Liniment)
~Joseph H. Minard~
~John Minard Sr.~
~Edward F. Burnaby~
~Nathaniel Minard~ ( the hardest one I had to find, he died of an illness in the west indies, so he wasn't buried in the same cemetery as his family, we think he was thrown overboard when he died)
Even though I didn't comment on all the names, I felt very blessed every time I found one of them, and I know that they are all happy that I found them. Family history is a fun past time and I hope to find even more in the future.
