OK, so with all this reunion talk, it got me thinking about our family history, and when each particular root first joined the church.
Of course, Mom’s side is pretty easy, with her parents both being the first in their respective lines to be baptized. I had always assumed Mom was BIC, but I just noticed that Grandpa wasn’t baptized until December AFTER Mom was born, with Grandma Judy being baptized a year later. Interestingly, Grandma Helen’s book say she was baptized by Wayne on May 3, 1953, with Edward and Marlene. However, the Church sites have her baptismal date listed as 18 DEC 1999 in the Dallas temple. Anyone have any idea what happened with that?
Mom, can you find out what the circumstances were behind your parents taking the discussions and getting baptized? If you already know, can you share that with us?
We’ll start with Dad’s side in the next one…
Dad says the date in Grandma’s book is the actual correct one. Most of the stuff that was done in the Dallas temple is work that was already done.
