Just a little bit of history:
My family had the Pack reunion at This is The Place Heritage Park this last weekend. My Great Great Great Great Grandfather was John Pack. One of the 9 who found/scoped out the Salt Lake Valley on July 22nd, 1847 - 2 days before Brigham Young.
Here is our lineage (for our sake, I'm sure it's boring to you)
John Pack & Julia Ives
Ward Eaton Pack
Marvin Pack
Ada Pack Ford
Sharon Ford (Nielson) Reese
Sheri Nielson Harris
Kelly Harris Clegg
Ryan & Ethan Clegg
We also have another big reason to love the
University of Utah:
The very first classes at University of Deseret (now the University of Utah) were taught in my great great great great grandfathers' home.
John Pack had 8 Wives, 1 divorced him, and 1 died. As you can see, he had a lot of children. I'm sure I dated one of my cousins growing up, with how many relatives I don't know. :-)
