Following the family lines

Emilie, my daughter, and I are working on gathering more information on our family lines.
She made a great discovery of pictures in Sweden tonight of the church where her great, great grandfather, Hans Nadrian Chlarson was from before he came to America.
Wonderful stuff.

Oops. I goofed. Hans is Emilie's and Aimee's great, great, great grandfather.
Hans' son Heber had Lew, Lew had Phil, Phil had Mike and Mike is their dad.
Hans was born in 1834 in Sweden.
Pretty cool to be able to get pictures of his church where his family originally went.
He joined Mormon church and eventually helped to create Mormon settlements in Utah, Arizona and Mexico.
Always interesting.

Almost a year later and Emilie started a group page for descendants of Hans on Facebook. I am helping her by contacting members that I am aware of and helping them to join.
We have over 100 members of this group page already!! Fantastic!
Now what can we do to get the page more interesting and excite the members to participate?
Hmmmm? Have to put our thinking caps on and come up with some really great ideas.
