We recently watched the video on John Rowe Moyle, who is my 7th Great Grandfather. He was an amazing example of faith and perseverance and the kids were really touched by his story and proud to know he is their ancestor. So this evening we went down to Lehi, picked up Grandma Norberg and went to Alpine, to the cemetery where Grandpa Norberg is buried as well as many of our ancestors, including John Rowe Moyle.
We put flowers on Grandpa's grave and Brandon was especially interested in searching for Carlisle, Whitby, Moyle and other family grave markers.
Grandma then took us over to John Rowe Moyle's Park which has his original house, Indian tower and other outbuildings, including an old grain shed which used to be on grandma's family's property when she was a child. We also drove past the area where the old Carlisle farm used to be which was neat.
It was so great to be able to see all these family history sites with such a great tour guide ... thanks Grandma!
