Below is a video that explains family history in simple terms. It provides an overview of the benefits of doing your own family history and how you can get started.

Earlier this year, we were contacted via email by Diana Webb, a descendant of Frederick G. Peterson and Mary Jeppesen. She was working on her family history and a friend that was helping her happened to find our web site. We quickly made arrangements to visit Diana since she lives in Sandy, just across the valley from us. As a result of our visit, she shared a number of family photographs with us that she was preparing for a scrapbook.
We were very excited to meet Diana and her husband Randy. She is only the second descendant of Jens Jeppesen and Maren Madsdatter that we have been in contact with in over 20 years. (Greg is a descendant of Jens and Maren through their son Jeppe Anton Jensen, while Diana comes through their daughter Mary Jeppesen.) The only other Jepson descendant we have been in contact with is Wayne H. Jepson, Dorothy’s cousin who also lives in the Salt Lake Valley.
The photograph above is just one of many photographs Diana shared with us. It is the wedding photograph of Frederick G. Peterson and Mary Jeppesen. We’ve posted these photographs in the Frederick G. Peterson and Mary Jeppesen Family album on our web site and hope you enjoy them. If you’d like to contact Diana directly, you can email her at motherdiana at comcast (dot) net. We’re sure she would enjoy hearing from other Jepson family members.
