New Crookston Cousins

Jo Lynne Harline says:  Last Sunday Uncle Lynn & Aunt Melva, at Joe's invitation, came to our ward Sacrament Mtg. to listen to Zach & Trish Crookston speak, then afterward we introduced them to each other and enjoyed a good visit. Zach grew up in South Jordan, was born in Logan, now works for a law firm in Ogden after getting a degree in Sociology at U. of U. He & Trish have a baby boy Ben. We're glad to have them in our ward! Zach is Joe's 2nd cousin twice removed.  A couple of weeks ago Joe dug into his Crookston genealogy and photocopied Robert Crookston, Sr.'s biography, and gave the copy to our new Crookston cousins just after we met them, then in her talk, Trish read part of Robert's testimony. Zach's father: Mike, his grandpa: James, his great-grandpa: Carlton "Carl" Crookston, brother of Grandpa Byron Crookston. This reminded me of Wendy's & Lisa's experience when a Crookston cousin moved to Yuma. You never know where cousins will pop up! 

Jo Lynne lives in Ogden, Utah.
