One way I’ve felt a connection to the women in my family is by making their recipes. When I’m kneading the dough for my grandma’s rolls or chopping the dates for my great grandma’s Christmas bon-bons, I think of them doing the same, and it feels like a sacred connection.

Great post, Maria!

It all seems so conditional there. jay mccarthy:

Have you found personal information about them as well? I am now inspired to see if I can track down my grandmothers' journals. I love that idea!

I wanted to find good old family names. And I found much more. It was a real feeling of being bound to these remarkable women in a way I'd never thought of before. Thanks for sharing Sister Hinckley's idea. It's just wonderful!

I'd love to see yours before I give it a try. <br/>I have a 4 generation picture at my wedding. I actually used it last week in my primary sharing time about the plan of salvation. <br/>Maybe I'll wait to have a daughter before I start mine . . . :) This is a great idea.
