DEDRICKSON Family History

Family of Theodore Dahl and Eleanor Braithwaite DEDRICKSON

This web site allows me to share with you all the family history I have collected and hopefully, will encourage you to share with me anything you have that will make this collection more complete and interesting. It contains information on the ancestors of my grandmother, Hazel DEDRICKSON (1901-1990), born in Spanish Fork, Utah. Her parents were Theodore and Eleanor DEDRICKSON, shown in the photo of their wedding above. Theodore’s father, Thordur DIDRIKSSON, was one of the first Mormon pioneers in Utah from Iceland. Theodore’s mother, Maren, joined the church in Denmark. Eleanor’s father, Robert BRAITHWAITE, joined the church in England and crossed the Atlantic and the plains to reach Zion. Her mother’s family, the BEMUS’, came from early New England. In the histories of our ancestors are tales of crossing the Atlantic in sailing ships, treks across the plains, and life in earlier times. Some of their stories are preserved here for you.

So, welcome and feel free to look around. Other surnames you'll find here are BEMUS, ASKEW, JUELL, JACOBSEN, ARNASSON, CHRISTENSEN, and many others. It's fun to find new cousins, so if it looks like we're related, please let me know who you are. If you have information to add, won't you email me? Remember that everything you see here is a contribution from others. The purpose of this site is to collect, preserve, and share our family heritage and to tie as many of our living relatives together as we can. I hope that this collection can be a base for further research and a means of avoiding duplication of efforts.

If you are part of the family (descendant of Theodore and Eleanor) and would like to see details on other living family members, email me for a password to the family page. Have you ever wondered where your cousins have gone and what they are doing? Here is your chance to find out and to keep others posted on your whereabouts.
