Excitement is in the air. We are still waiting for an announcement regarding the groundbreaking date as well as the Temple design. However, work has started and everyone in Lindon is excited.

Let’s start with word on our street. We hear the Temple will have two spires and will be a New design. Sounds exciting. Second, we are hearing that Temple is being fast tracked with an estimate build time of 18 months. Purpose is to get the Orem and Lindon Temples done so that work can begin on the remodeling of the Provo Temple.

Here are photos from today. Demolition of two homes on Center St. in Lindon

One of our goals is to provide a regular update on the Lindon Temple as it is built.

1. No date has been announced as of yet for the dedication.
2. We do know the Temple is to be on a fast track – with anticipated build time of less than 2 years.
3. The Temple will be a “new design” including 2 spires.
4. Access to the Temple will be from Center st. in Lindon.
5. Surveying and soil sample work began on January 21st.

In General Conference, President Nelson announced the construction of a new Temple right here in Lindon. What a blessing!

Your family tree is full of  couples with their children listed underneath. They make up a nice complete family group.

Right?

Are you SURE you have found the whole family group?

Let’s clarify that family group a bit more.

Your ancestor’s family group is made up of the husband and wife and their known children.

[Note: For this post, I am assuming the usual course of events related to marriage and the birth of children.]

Unfortunately  the infant and child mortality was high in the years of our ancestors. Visit any older cemetery and you find many infants and children did not survive past childhood.

Children themselves in the 1800’s and earlier did not generate many records.  If a child’s entire life span fell between two census years, the researcher must think “outside of the box” to find a child’s existence and name.
