Carl D. Anderson wrote, “Sweden is the home of my ancestors, and I have reserved a special place in my heart for Sweden.”

We can all connect back to our roots and have a similar feeling. But Diane and Reynold are having

that experience first hand. Diane shared the follow-ing as she connected with cousins in Sweden:

“We left from Karlstad on Friday, March 21, driving south to Malmo. It was a relaxing drive. The weather was lovely, the landscape was rolling hills and gentle flat lands, already greening with the warmer weather of early spring. As we reached the Helsingborg area (about 45 minutes from Malmo) it started to rain very hard. The rain followed us into Malmo continuing through the early evening hours. Our hotel was near the water front (ocean) and we experienced some periods of fog the next morning. Malmo is a lovely city with a small town feel and lots of parks and green belts about the city.

“Saturday morning we met with Goren Lindman, the only grandchild of Gottfred Helge Lindman, Axel's younger brother (4th child of Peter Andersson Holm Lindman and Anna Kristi Malmgren). Goren is a wonderful man. He and his wife Anita were so thrilled for the visit!

When I first contacted Goren by phone he said: ‘I didn't think I had any family left!’

“He provided many photos of his parents, grand-parents and great grandfather. We visited with this wonderful couple until it was time to return to our hotel to get ready for Eva's (Nilsson) 60th Birthday Celebration and the Cousins’ Reun-ion. I met Eva for the first time when she called me.

“She had many guests: neighbors, co-workers, and family. It was held in the 'club house’ of her apt. complex. I met about 15 people who were related in some way to the Lindman family name. I will

“Since Goren was the first contact, let me take a moment to tell you how I met the others on the phone. The Lord in his tender mercies provided an opportunity to volunteer in the Branch Family History Center. It was during these times that I found

the information needed to contact these family members. Heaven was really mindful and extremely helpful.

“I then met Sven Olaf Urdin over the phone, he lives south of Stock-holm. His mother was the 3rd daughter of Olof Ludvig Lindman, Axel's eldest brother. He was the one who told me of the cousin reunion in March. Lastly, I received a phone call from Eva Nilsson, daughter of Ulla Ragnhild Lindman the 5th daughter of Olof. She actually was born

8 months after his death when he died suddenly of blood poisoning leaving his wife to raise their 4 (+1) daughters alone. Ulla never met her father in this life. Ulla is now a widow in her 80's. Her sister Lilian is 92 yrs. old and very sharp. She was able to answer many questions regarding her father and mother.

“They are the only living adult children of Olaf at this time. I am still hoping to find other living relatives on Axel's side of the family tree. Rag-nar's grandsons are living and hopefully will decide to answer my mails—so

far, nothing!

“Because Eva's guests were beginning to leave about 8:30 pm we also took our leave, so she could spend time with her family members.

“Sunday morning we attended the Malmo Ward Sacrament Meeting. At

12:30 we met Goren and Anita who had offered to meet us at the Hotel and take us sightseeing around Malmo. We took a picture in the spot where Peter Andersson Holm Lindman had a picture taken by the windmill. (See photos on page three)

“We stopped by the apartments where Goren grew up. He was neigh-bors to Ragnar. We stopped by his grandfather, Gottfred's home. It was a lovely home in a nice neighborhood.

“The time flew by too fast, and we were forced to say our 'goodbyes!'

“We then went to Eva's for a visit with her cousin Olle and his wife, Eva. It was a delightful, relaxed time, spent just getting acquainted.

“A really fun fact that was discovered was that Eva and Joanne were pen pals as young teenagers. Surprise! How fun is that, they have now finally reconnected after several years of silence!

“We have wonderful relatives here in Sweden, they are excited to recon-nect and to get to know us. Some are talking of visiting us in the states next year. Eva has already visited New York City in June of this year.”

Hearts of the Children to the Fathers the Fall of 2013, and has been a huge undertaking to scan and make them available to family and the public, and also have them ready and posted for Perryopolis’ (PA)Bicentennial Celebration.

The entire collection were mostly photos taken by “Uncle Horace.” That’s what my grandmother Gladys Parker called him. She men-tioned how he would visit her family as she was growing up in rural Mead, Nebraska during the late 1800’s and early 1900’s.

These treasured photos have provided rich visuals of Gladys' early life for all of her posterity.

Horace was a professional photographer plus an inventor and “jack of all trades”. He even made beautiful violins. It was recently discovered that Uncle Horace’s skills were not limited to Mead, Nebraska, but he was also actively involved in photography in Fayette City, Pennsylvania and the sur-rounding area, and much of his original work was stored in the old Farquhar home in Perryopolis, PA. Now these priceless photos have been preserved and are being shared online for all to enjoy.

Elder Neil Anderson shared recently, “When we see ourselves in the perspective of our family, those who came before us and those who come after us, we realize how we are part of a wonder-ful link that connects us all together.

“As we search them (those of the past) out and take their names to the temple, we bring to them something they cannot obtain without us. In doing so, we are connected to them—and the Lord, through His Spirit, confirms to our soul the eternal im-portance of what we are doing.”

It was wonderful and fun to hear that many of the young ones in our family have already taken a dive into family history.

Sam Williams (Lorene) had really had some wonderful successes while on family search, and discovered family names needing work done.

Arron Brown mentioned recently: “Zach has spent about 12 hrs. on Fami-lySearch.org this week checking out our family tree. He used chat and even called and got help from specialists there and has actually traced our family tree on his Great Grandma's (Mona Chamberlain Brown) side all the way to Adam!!! Seri-ously!!!!!”

Eric and Julie Brown were visiting in SLC when they mentioned Klarie had discovered many names on New Family Search and had her older siblings do the ordinance work for them. When I mentioned the photo scanning project I was working on, Klarie enthusiastically offered to help out, by taking a large amount of old photos home where she and her brother Calvin scanned them.

Every family has funny family stories. And so did the Lindman fam.

Have you ever asked the question, “Where's my keys?”

It’s a question we heard often as children. In fact, Mom loved to retell the “keys story” from the days when we lived in San Francisco on Sliver Avenue. Dad owned the Aarow Heating and Air Condition-ing business at that time. Having to support a family is one thing, but owning a business can be even more stressful. Add to that the fact that Dad was working it from the home contributed a great deal of tension to our daily life.

One day, Dad came home for some reason and when it was time to leave he could not find his keys. After looking around the house for a while and not finding them, Dad enrolled mother to look.

Dad was notorious for misplacing all kinds of things, especially his keys. On the other hand, moth-er was a very organized person who believed that everything had a place and everything should be in its place.

For the most part Mother could find most everything for everybody, but today was differ-ent when it came to the missing keys.

We could feel the tension build. Dad was getting frustrated and a bit angry. Finally he blurted out: “Who has my keys?” None of us had them, but together we all looked “high and low” for Dad’s keys, searching in every nook and cranny conceivable, but no keys were found.

The level of tension continued to elevate as

Dad needed to go. Not sure how long we all searched, but to our disappointment the keys were still nowhere to be found.

Mother would often pray when she needed help find-ing things and she perhaps was praying in that mo-ment. Like a flash of inspiration, Mother walked over to Dad and started to “frisk him.” To Dad’s surprise as she patted near his belt on his side, she found some-thing bulky on inside of his pants at the belt line. Up-on further examination, she pulled out the key ring and chain still attached to a belt loop, which had flipped inside Dad’s trousers—probably after a trip to the bathroom. Maybe that was why he came home?

Now the keys and key rings were again on the outside of his pants, dangling in plain sight.

The tension broke. “The lost has been found,” Mother called out to those who had been searching in the other parts of the house.

All came running to find out where they had been found, and Mother told us what had happened. Life could now move ahead for all of us.

I don’t recall if mother laughed about the incidence that day, but years later while living in Salt Lake City, Mother would often retell the story of Wilford’s missing keys to visitors and old friends.

I remember sitting on the floor listening as the adults visited. Each time she told this story, she’d laugh and laugh and could hardly retell it for laughing.

While doing this story, I Googled the question: “How many people lose their keys in a year?” The answer: 1.672million people, annually. Guess Dad’s not the only person to ask that question, “Where the heck are my keys.”

Where's Dad’s Keys?

Hunk - Bunk - Skunk Axel Lindman’s posterity view him as man of determination and courage, leaving his homeland and family for a better, gospel-centered life in America. But to him, he was just a com-mon man. The uncommon part of Axel was that he actually worked on overcoming those not-so-virtuous qualities in his life.

While in he's late twenties, Axel was introduced to and joined The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints. An awakening began for him then and the process of examining and changing his life choices.

While serving in the Swedish Military, he’d picked up some bad habits: drinking, smoking, and speaking in colorful

language that most non-members accepted freely. He wished to give all these up, which he did. Having one of those Swedish tempers, howev-er, it became clear that he needed to look for better ways of venting that anger rather then turning the air blue with profanity.

So Axel invented his own set of words to use when he became angry, upset or very frustrated. They worked for him, but rather than causing trepidation in others, they brought laughter to those listening to his angry tirades, as he would yell, over and over: “Hunk, Bunk, Skunk.”

Faye, his youngest daughter recalls, “We all could tell when Daddy was hopping mad when he’d yell… “Hunk Bunk Skunk.” And mother and I could hardly keep a straight face.

Anyone remember what we were doing on Sunday, July 10, 1994 at 8:30 pm? It’s when we had all gath-ered around the stone fireplace on the main floor of the Clayton and Vivian Family Cabin for a family history review during a Lind-man family reunion.

Mom (Mary Louise) desired to get everyone together in a nice place where we all could fit and share her new-found in-sights about her father’s roots.

The days and months prior to the reun-ion she’d worked with her cousin Pat discovering more about her Parker and Morris family trees. Pat was Harold Parker’s daughter, Mom’s fa-ther’s youngest brother. This is one of the first

times family history infor-mation had been shared with Mom, and she was excited and anxious to share the information with all of us.

Mom had never known much about either of her grandparents or great grand-

parents so when Pat invited her to help compile a histo-ry about their great grandfa-ther William V. Morris, she jumped at the chance and was also excited to share the information with her broth-er Morris.

During this time, Mom become a member of the (DUP) Daughters of the

Utah Pioneers and submitted a copy of the infor-mation they had written to them.

During that time together, she learned about the large portraits her cousin Pat said had been in the old Parker home attic. Pat said that her father Har-old had left them in her care.

Together they decided to donate them to the LDS

Church archive. It was later discovered that these charcoal portraits had been made from actual pho-tos. They included William V. Morris, Daniel Parker, and his father and mother Joshua, and Drusilla Parker, plus photographs of Drusilla Par-ker standing in front her home on 321 West North Temple, Salt Lake City.

Do you remember the stories that she told while showing us the pictures? Can you recall them? Have you heard some family members say… “Now which of our ancestors is that story about?”

Now we have a tool to help keep Family stories straight. During the 2014 Spring Rootstech Family History Conference, the Church introduced a program called My Family: Stories That Bring Us Together. This booklet encourages us to write down one story at a time of family past and present, collecting them so that they can be remembered and correctly passed on. The booklets can be found at the Church Distribution Center or online.

Researchers now see the power that good family stories and knowing about our ancestors’ lives have on a per-son, especially children. A New York Times article enti-tled The Stories That Bind Us by Bruce Feiler shared the following insights and research findings about chil-dren who knew about the lives of their families and ancestors:

This children tended to do better than other children when they faced challenges.

They proved to be more resilient and able to moderate the effects of stress.

They had a stronger sense of control over their lives.

They had higher self-esteem.

They believed that their family functioned successfully.

They felt that they belonged to something larger than themselves.

Begin your own personal book of family treasured sto-ries, NOW. And share them. Your children will bene-fit immediately!

If there’s an ancestor that you’d like featured and you have information or a story that you would like to share in this publication, send it to me at suzannehansen@comast.net.

I recently showed my grandson Chase, who is five years old, a photo of an ancestor from his fraternal side. It was picture of his great, great, great grandfather as a little boy. He looked surprised and said, “No one ever told me that before.” Chase was ready and excited to learn more.

Probably all my siblings remember our parents liked listening to Paul Harvey’s Monday through Friday radio program at one time or another.

Beginning as a part of his newscasts during the Sec-ond World War and then premiering as its own series on the ABC Radio Network on May 10, 1976, The Rest of the Story consisted of stories presented as

little known or fascinating facts on a variety of subjects that usually tied into well-known people or events. The broadcast always concluded with a variation on the tag line, “And now you know the rest of the story.”

While writing the One Christmas Eve story for the last issue of Lind-man Legacy, I contacted Pam the daughter of Hugo and Rena. She and I have been corresponding with over the years. Her mother Rena is now 92 years of age and staying at Pam’s home, and Pam was kind enough to share some of her memo-ries about that Christmas in 1955:

“I am aware that you have already sent the (last) newsletter out, but thought I'd send some thoughts about the Christmas of 1955 any-way. My Dad wrote in my book soon after the flood: ‘On December 24, 1955 we packed our car and fled from the terrible flood.’

We spent that Christmas with the Wilford Lindman family in San Francisco and I enjoyed playing with their children -- old friends. All of the land for miles South of Yuba City was flooded. It was a week or 10 days before we could get back into our home.

Our house was not flooded but the water came half-way up our neigh-bor's yard." (We lived on the north end of town which escaped the worst of the flooding.) And what do I remember? I remember getting a cyst (the first and the last, so far) on the inside of my wrist/forearm that was painful while my parents were back in Yuba City helping people muck out their houses. Your parents finally talked me into letting "Uncle Willy" lance it.

I was scared of more pain, but it all went fine and the cyst healed. I remember Jerry getting a remote controlled car and playing in the base-ment/garage with it for hours and trying to get rid of us pesky girls.

I remember getting zebra pants and a top for Christmas and was mortified when Mom and Dad came back while I was playing outside with them on and Mom told me they were pajamas.

When mother had taken me to my dancing lessons in Marysville a day or so before the levee in south Yuba City broke, she saw how high the water was when we went across the bridge. So when we got home she started packing clothes and other things including our Christmas presents, into the car.

Dad went up to the office and brought home the files and billing and put them in the car. The office building did flood, but I don't believe it reached the second floor. However, the janitor husband and wife team did lose their son; they were swept into the waters and couldn't hang on to him.

In a flood like that, there is always a lot of flotsam such as trees, cars, etc. being swept along in the water which kills people. One of the young families in our ward, (father, moth-er, two young children) were caught in their car trying to leave for safety and they all drowned. I still remember that funeral and the little caskets. And in my 8 year old way, I had been worried about leaving the Christmas tree!

When Dad got home from the office the evacu-ation order for Yuba City had been issued and we were ready and willing to leave.

I can remember sitting in the car with Mike, a baby in a car bed wedged between the front and back seat on the floor beside me, sleeping away while the car was inch-ing along Highway 20; we could hear the water running high in the streets and the storm drains and the driving rain still coming down.

So many people were all trying to leave at once that no one got anywhere quickly. But the Lord blessed us again and all was well for us. In the aftermath of the flood, many children became acquainted with death and ruin and homeless families. I was lucky. We had friends in San Francisco who took us in.

Thank you! I look back on that and am thankful your mother, Mary Louise, was kind and generous enough to take in another family AT CHRISTMASTIME, no less. I'll always remember that time.”

On January 14, 2014 it was thrilling to hear the announcement of an End of Treatment Party for Grant Lindman, and his mother Kristen shared the following;

“The oncologist and radiologist reviewed Grant’s PET scan and gave a preliminary OK. In cele-bration, the clinic (we love you all!!!) held an end of treatment party for Grant today! We were joined by some of the friends we have met during treatment. It was a great occasion.

“In Grant’s own words, ‘Today is a great day. This is the greatest day ever.’

“Though you were all not able to join us, we want you to know we are grateful for your pray-ers and all the help you have rendered to Grant

and to our family. “(This paragraph in not meant as a downer, just a FYI for those of you who have asked). End of treatment means the beginning of a new chapter. We begin physical therapy next week, and will continue to check in with the clinic periodically for the next five years.

“In May, the family celebrated with a Make-a-Wish Disney Land trip.

“As Grant grows he will need periodic replace-ment of the prosthetic placed during surgery in July when he lost four ribs to the cancer. We feel fortunate to have enjoyed our boy this year and are keenly aware that God has granted us a gift.”

Please keep Grant in your prayers!

Monday, January 27, Zack Brown was recognized in a school assembly for his kindness.

Shannon, his mother, said, “I can't think of a better award to receive. If my kids can be known for their kindness, then I have succeeded as a Mom. Good job Zac!! Proud of you.”

It’s really amazing how many athletes we have in this family, and the diver-sity of sports seems to be ever grow-ing. It’s always fun to discover family member involvements via social me-dia. There are also those who are hidden from our view, and we’d like to hear from you. So share your ath-letic stories. Send photos. In this is-sue we have three:

Proud father Mark Williams posted this: “Katie’s team won 3rd Place Presi-dent’s Cup for 2014.

Mark shared: “The only goal scored on Katie today was from her own teammate on accident. So no goals past her today. Here's the team and medals. She is soo excited! Fun time!”

Eric Brown shared the following from Mo: “Just wanted to toot Kelcey's horn. If

you can zoom into the (medal in the) photo it says Missouri Archery Association, State Championship, and the yellow ribbon was for first place. The JOAD tournament was on January 25, 2014 and she shot 60 arrows from 18m to score 412/600 ( and a side note: last year Kelcey’s NASP tourna-ments were 15 arrows at a distance of 10m and 15 arrows at 15m) so this was new for her this year. Kelcey entered the division for females, 13-14 yrs., bare-bow (no sites, releases, or counter balance).

Sara Brown has always had a love of hors-es. Her parents surprised the family with a horse when she was young. Her love has grown with each new horse she has owned, learn-ing what smart, amazing animals they are.

Sara’s mother Shannon Brown posted this photo of her on Facebook, during her competition where she did very well. Sara continues to participate in a horse riding competitions and really loves it.

Family builders: •Axel Lindman built three homes. •Wilford remod-eled the Silver Ave home in CA, and built the fami-ly home in Holladay. He would refer to himself at times as “Mr. Putts,” for always Putting around fixing things. •Jerry built a home in Ben-nion, Utah. All enjoyed working with their hands building and fixing things. Now a

another generation has a passion for that same creative pro-cess. •Eric Brown not only has loved teaching shop in high school, but also has loved all aspects of design, working with wood, building a log home, and creating something from noth-ing. And fixing, repairing, and all handyman stuff. On January 12, 2014. Eric took on another challenging project: “Here I go

again on another Log Home.” On January 24 he posted: “Logs are 10 high in 2 days, just think how fast we'll go when it gets above freezing. I'm going to need another house to build.”

By March 29 things were really taking form and coming along nicely.

From missionary to masonry in a week, Karee worked with Eric on the log home, along with Colton helping to complete the project. Eric has already lined up other construction jobs, such building another cabin and home. And a proud grandfather (Wilford) told him: “Great job! Thumbs up Eric! Keep up the good work!”

New Arrivals

Eric and Julie Brown and their family trav-eled to Utah around Christmas hoping to be there just in time. Finally, Grandpa Eric went home to work. That must have been the signal, because the baby finally came around 10:16 am the next day. Kamber posted the following: Baby Landon Lukini Elika Banks, Born De-cember 31, 2013 at 7:31pm. 6pounds 8oz.

21 1/4 inches long. Full head of hair. Eric made his way back to SLC.

The Dahlin family is growing. James turned two on February 8th, and baby Julia arrived on February 11th at 8:43 am, weighing in at 6 pounds 9 ounces, 18 inches long. Such a blessing, and Kathryn and baby did well.

The name chosen was Julia Kathryn Dahlin and she was blessed by

her father Eric on April 27 at their ward in Draper with friends and fami-ly in attendance.

Rebecca and Dan Webb were blessed with a fourth son, born 3:12 pm March 10th. He was 7 lbs, 13 oz, and 20.5 inches long. Rebecca wrote: “Baby Jonathan

was born about two weeks ago. He is our fourth child. Jonathan was born with Down Syndrome. We found out his diagnosis shortly after his 20 week ultrasound. I cried for two days. Then I decided I’d cried enough. Over the next several weeks, I came to understand in my heart

and mind that this was the way God wanted it to be—and that this baby would be a huge bless-ing to our family. Since the moment I first saw Jonathan in the delivery room, I knew I would have no problem loving and accepting this baby. Peace and light seem to emanate from him. He already has blessed us so much. I just have to think one day at a time, and not worry myself about his or my future. ‘Jonathan’ means ‘Jehovah has given.’ It’s true—this child is a gift from God. I’m so lucky to be his mother!!"

Another boy was born in Rexburg, Idaho to Kristine and Michael Bal-lard and their family was ex-cited and thrilled when

the new baby arrived April 23, 2014, 7:58 am, 6 lbs. 12 oz. His name is Zane Richard Ballard. Congrats!

Tiffany and Russ Walston announced the exciting news on June 24th with the baby's first photo. The couple have a baby girl under construction and her arrival date in sometime in November of this year.

At the end of the year there will be 103 great grands for Grand-pa Lindman, because Ashely and Richard Britton are look-ing forward to their first, a baby boy in December of this year. It’s another busy year for Carol and Nor-riss and Warren and Joanne Bingham. Congratulations to everyone!

Most grandparents will agree with Laura Schlessinger when she said, “It's humbling and enthralling to know your legacy when you're alive.”
