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,
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.
