It has been far too long since I've posted about my family tree.........too busy with my current little family I suppose. But I have to record a super resource for my Cardon ancestors - an amazing
extended family website. I love reading the histories of my ancestors - the
story behind the conversion of the Waldensian people to the gospel of Jesus Christ is remarkable.
The first in that family line to join the church were my great-great-great grandparents, Philippe and Marthe Cardon. They had 7 children and after being baptized in Torino, Italy they sold their land and possessions and moved to Utah.

Their son, Jean Paul, is who I am descended from. Something interesting about he and his wife is that they were responsible for
starting the silk industry in Utah. Susannah had experience with it in Italy and was asked to teach others.

The Cardon family group is going on a tour of Italy next year..............wouldn't it be lovely to go? Maybe some day! For now I will just enjoy learning about them!
