Memorial Day



















This is a photo of my aunt Ethel who is 89, she's my mom's younger sister. Her son Bill and I are standing by the headstone of our second great grandmother Vilborg Thordardottir (click on the link to read her history) who emigrated from Iceland to Utah in 1874. How fun it has been to write Vilborg's history and find out more about her homeland. We will have a reunion in June during Icelandic Days to honor those immigrants that settled in Spanish Fork, Utah. Where are your ancestors from? Will you visit any of their graves during Memorial Day?
