Order Your Own Fan Chart!

While at the recent reunion, we saw the wonderful enlarge fan chart that Jeana had made for Budd:

You can each do this with your own name in the center circle! Jeana's directions are as follows:

1. First, go to familysearch.org and login to your LDS account. Make sure your kid's and spouse dates are all correct.

2. Click on the FAMILY TREE tab, then TREE on the drop down menu.

3. Then click on the FAN TREE symbol. and your chart will pop up. In the top right corner click on PRINT. On the "Print" page, there will be a SAVE icon on the bottom right. Click on this to save it to your computer.

This will give you a fan chart like the one below, which shows Jerry in the center circle:

To get the full fan chart, like Budd's (the first one), go to TreeSeek.com.

Login there (using your LDS login). It will pull up your family tree from familysearch.org. Choose the 9 generation fan chart and print or order, as directed.

If this doesn't make sense. I would be happy to walk you through it on the phone.

You're invited: Luke's Homecoming

Luke Thompson's homecoming is this Sunday, August 9! Welcome home, Luke!
Sacrament meeting starts at 9:00 am. After sacrament meeting, the Thompsons will have a gathering at their home. The church address is 610 W. 100 S. In Lori's words: "It was great to see him when he came home but this last week he has been at Lake Powell so we haven't spent much time with him. We'll love to see you and I know he will also."

Another Reunion Photo

We've received another reunion photo, which we'll add to the original reunion post, but wanted to make sure you all were able to see it. :) If there are any other photos out there, be sure to send them in!

Also, we'll be working on the Cousins Tab, which will be a rundown of the first cousins, from oldest to youngest, along with a photo. If you have a recent photo that you'd like us to use, send that in. Otherwise, we'll go to whatever we have on file, which may not be your favorite. :)
