We started this blog as a way to share family stories, photos, writings, histories and memories of Philbert and Cora Lind - along with stories about their ancestors, siblings, family and friends. I hope you'll enjoy it and suggest additional ideas. I think it's important for us to know about our family and what they wrote. After Dad died, Mother talked to the (LDS) Church about their interest in acquiring his writings for their historical department. However, since they were mostly family related, the Church suggested that they be maintained within the family. Mother gave Dad's original diaries, small daybooks, spiral notebooks,and other collected histories to me. She also made available other family histories to me. I've spent many years typing his diaries and other writings. As long as they're just on my computer or in boxes, they aren't useful to the entire family. With the advances in technology, it's now possible to share the information easily with the family. Please feel free to share the information with those that would be interested. I'm not a fast typist, so I'm still typing up Dad's diaries. As I get items completed, we'll get them loaded for you to enjoy - so please keep checking back. If you have stories to request or information to share, you can contact me at mnjlind@gmail.com.
When you click on a link to access saved files, they are hosted on an external website that will allow you to view the files. If you try to download the files, it will ask you to download some software before you can download the files. The files and photos on the website are, by necessity, lower quality than is on my computer. If there is a specific file or photo you'd like to request, please let me know and I'll make sure it is sent to you.
