Johnson Family Reunion Video 2011



I hope you all enjoyed the family video.  You can view it here in a very pixelated format.  A few of us gathered around Mitch's laptop to view it at the reunion after the power went out.  The rest of you will have to see it on your own.  Thanks to so many of you for sending in photos and video for it.

Please note: some copies of the DVD I burned are not playing properly.  The video should be 18-19 minutes long, include several songs and at least 5 video segments in addition to the photographs.  If your DVD stops playing before reaching the "The End" screen, let me know and I can send you a new copy.  In the meantime you can play through the "catches" by fast forwarding a second or two when it stops.  Sorry for the inconvenience.

Photograph of Frederick Yeates

Cindie Sorenson just sent me a link to this fantastic photo of our ancestor Frederick Yeates.  It was sent to her from the Church Family History Library.  At the reunion Cindie told us about some of the wonderful discoveries she has been making through her research there.

How are we related?  Frederick Yeates is the father of Israel Yeates who is the father of Lula Yeates.

Thanks Everybody for the Reunion

We were very impressed that so much of the family showed up for the reunion last weekend.  We had a great time catching up with so many of you, and I especially enjoyed all the pioneer stories shared at the Millville Cemetery and talking late into the night with Mom and cousins.  Thanks to all of you for your support.

We were all saddened by Thatcher's accident and continue to pray for his recovery.
