Passports
Just a reminder to everyone that we will need passports for our trip to Denmark. Visas are not necessary as we will be in the country under 30 days. For anyone who does not have a passport you can apply at your local post office. We'll have more updates in a month or two.

Hey kids. This is a side topic, but I wanted to let you all know.
I'm planning to fly to Ireland before this trip next summer, to visit Roxie and see if I can do a little cleanup work on the Quaker cemetery near Carlow where some of Grandma Petersen's ancestors are buried.
My plans aren't set, but I'm hoping to be in Ireland for most of July.
I am sending a letter to the caretaker of the Newgarden Cemetery near Carlow in hopes that he'll let me in there to clear up the plot a bit. (He was willing last time I was there, but I ran out of time before I could get it organized.)
Currently, the cemetery is very overgrown with briars and stinging nettle, and there are only a few headstones (none for our family).
So here's a couple of questions:
1-Do you guys have any requests while I'm there? Specifically, I am wondering if I should put a marker of some kind on the spot where the Anderson family (one was the father of Elizabeth Anderson, who married William Howard and came to Salt Lake in the early 1850s) is buried. The cemetery's map shows where the family is buried, so it would be in the right spot.
If people are interested in seeing that done (and helping to pay for it), I will look into some options, including costs.
2-Anybody who wants to extend their trip a bit and join me for a visit to Roxie in Dublin and then Carlow would be welcome. I'll be staying with people I know there, but there are several bed and breakfasts in town, and Kenna and I both know that one at least was very nice and fun in 1998.
Sounds great Bryce! I think my my parents are planning to go to Dublin to visit Aunt Roxie before Denmark too. That's an awesome thing you're doing. Wish we could join you!
