I am very pleased with the new program that has been made available for Utah. It has improved the system to find my ancestors with the information that I submitted as well as what has been linked to me.

I have to say here that the information and data entered is the result of many millions, if not billions of hours by volunteers. Linking families through our efforts binds us all forever with our loved ones.

This last week of December I searched my pedigree chart and found some missing ordinances that needed completion. I found one of my paternal second great-grandfather and his wife, along with a child I did not have on my records. I found one of their daughters that had never before been recorded. Her name is Maria Narcisa Francisca Ulloa, born 24 November 1875. My second great-grandparents were born in 1841, and 1845. Their birth dates are only estimated. My great-grandmother was born in 1859.

My grandfather was born in 1888, and his sister just older was born in 1887. There are a lot of interesting facts to put together the pieces of this genealogy puzzle.

It feels good to have found some of my missing ancestors. I will post some of their photos of those that I have. It is such a treasure to be able to identify my ancestors. I see the hand of God in bringing these photos to my possession, through my paternal grandfather, Ricardo Rodriguez and grandmother, Maria del Refugio Canchola.

My grandmother, Maria del Refugio Canchola Rodriguez, with her brother, Reynaldo Canchola, at San Antonio, Texas at the cement plant, Chelo, Richard, Carlos, Celia, my grandmother, Cuquita, Reynaldo and little Emma. My grandmother is expecting, carrying my aunts, Alice and Elena, her youngest children born in September 1925.

My grandmother was instrumental in bringing her brothers and sister to the United States. My great-uncle, Reyaldo worked at the plant and lived in the neighborhood where Nane and Buelito lived. This picture is taken on the back porch of their home. My dad, Carlos is seated on the step, by the dog.
