Janell’s complicated family history is intertwined with early history of The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints. She had family history questions and received answers about the attack on Hawn’s Mill. Her Hawn’s Mill reference files helped her to understand the people and what happened there. She has reconnected with her Iowa and Missouri collateral cousins - expanding her family tree.
