This is the last census currently available. The 1940 census will be available in April (yeah!) but for now, the trail of documents ends for the Lund family.

Continuing on with Victor and Pearl, here they are in 1920.

Interesting:
I had the name Ada as their daughter but didn’t know anything more. Now I know that she was born around 1916.
I already had Victor and Pearl’s marriage record from 1911. It seems strange that it was 5 years before they had Ada. Perhaps there were more children? I’ll have to look into that.
I’m excited to work further back on the Taylor side of the family, but before I can do that I need to make sure I know all I can about each generation. Starting with Victor Lund and his wife Edith Pearl Taylor.

Last year I found the record of Victor and Pearl’s marriage on Family Search, but it was only the index and no image. On one of my trips to the Family History Library, I pulled up the film and copied it.

It’s so interesting to see that they were married in the same place as Troy and I were, the Salt Lake Temple. They were young, 19 and 22, which is only one year younger than Troy and I when we married almost 100 years later.
I love that this document also has their signatures:
I also love looking at photographs of our ancestors. It’s interesting how much Troy and our son James look like Victor –
I love the Family History Library! Yesterday was my graduation from the Master’s program and the gift I asked for was a few hours at the FHL in Salt Lake. I was able to get a few church records and ship records I wanted to finish up the Lund Family Book for Christmas. Then, I thought I should see what they had about Plain City, Utah, the town all the Lund’s lived in when they moved to Utah.
I did a place-name search in the catalog and found a book with Cemetary records which also listed relationships when they were known (like who was married to who and child of who, etc.). I found another book with some LDS church records, and then another with Plain City History. Most of it was the same history I’d already found online from the Daughters of Utah Pioneers, but the book also had pictures!
So I looked through all the pictures to see if any included the Lund family. Here’s one of the good ones –

Here’s Edith Pearl Taylor (Lund) in 1907. She later married Victor Erastus Lund, son of Mathias Christian Lund, and Troy’s Great-grandfather.
Why, its the study of the Lund's, of course! I am jumping in to researching our family history and seeing where it takes me. We are the Lund's. We come from Lund's, Ranson's, DeMacedo's, Lima's, Anderson's, Warner's, Ferreira's, Da Silva's and beyond! Since my own side of the family is from Brazil, it is quite difficult to track things down. Troy's side, on the other hand, has proven to be much easier. So, I'll be jumping back and forth and all around to learn about where we come from.
Are you related to us? I'd love to learn more about you and share what I know about our common ancestors!
