So I am going through new.familysearch.org and am mostly looking up names and trying to get familiar with people and then googling and trying to find pictures, ect. Scott's mom side of the family are related to Kimballs. His grandma was a Kimball and they are decendencts of Heber C. Kimball through his wife Ann Alice Gheen from their son Daniel Heber Kimball.

In my search on google for Ann Alice, an article about Spencer W. Kimball came up from him describing Ann Alice (his grandmother).
Unlike Scott, I do not have a direct line from any member of the Quorum of the Twelve or a Prophet, but I do have an awesome Bishop who was the grandfather of Spencer W. Kimball, Edwin D. Woolley. When I found out that Scott was a decendent from Heber C. Kimball, one of my thoughts was "How cool! Our kids now have both grandparents of Spencer W. Kimball in their family lines."

One of Edwin D. Woolley's daughters, Rachel Emma Woolley, is my 3rd great-grandma. I can't find a picture of her online right now, but I know there are some somewhere and I know we have a lot of information on her because she kept a journal that was published. (So more information about Rachel Emma Woolley coming in future posts!) One of his other daughters, Olive, married the brother of Daniel Heber Kimball, Andrew.

Andrew & Olive
Olive isn't from the same wife as Rachel, so it isn't a perfect triangle or anything, but I was just hit by this silly connection that my 3rd-great-grandma's sister married the brother of Scott's 3rd-great-grandpa. Our ancestors were in-laws. :) :) And their son was a Prophet, and had awesome lineage that my husband and I both come from. :) :)
