It's time for Pasquale

Pasquale Vignola
born - 1865  Potenza, Potenza, Basilicata, Italy
died - 15 jan 1900  Denver, CO

Pasquale is my Great-great Grandfather on my dad's side.

His name has been niggling at the back of my mind for some time now.  I tried to get a little info on him and promptly hit a road block.  My dad found out some things, emailed them to me, and I promptly (I am very prompt sometimes!)  archived them in my email and got busy with life.

Fast forward to this weekend - our Stake Conference.

At the 4:00 meeting yesterday, ward leaderships were taught how Family History brings everything together in the Gospel, and that we can't be saved without our ancestors, just as they can't be saved without us.  We were instructed that we need to use our callings to encourage Family History in our wards, and encouraged to take our own family names to the temple instead of doing the work for those names already there.

At the meeting today, President Perez issued the challenge for us to prepare one name to take to the temple before the next Stake Conference in 6 months.

Now, what is my excuse for not getting something like that accomplished??
Distance?  No, I live about 5 minutes from the nearest Family History Center.
Access to records?  No, I have some computer skills, and again the FHC 5 mins away.  Also, in the FHC there are 19 (I think) programs that the Church has provided for us to use which are free to us but would cost a lot of money to have access to at home.
Time?  No, I am down to 2 kids at home, and could definitely find an hour or two a week to work on it.
The work is all done?  Hah!!

Clearly, there is no reason to let my ancestors wonder if I'm ever going to get their work done.  Maybe I can even enlist my dad to help out.

So, I think I know what I need to do.  Pasquale is my first goal, and who knows where he will take me.

It's Time!!
