I've decided to add a few additional families to my list while at the Family History Library in Salt Lake in late May. We'll be posting suggestions and ideas for the research as we get closer to our actual trip.

1. Robert and Eleanor Carlisle Frame from County Cumberland, England. I am really trying to learn something about Robert's supposed Spanish origins. He is listed as a British citizen in the census 1841-1861, but his occupation of a warper makes me doubt he was a world traveller. I do have his death record but it does not provide any additional details. One goal is to search for other Spanish natives living in County Cumberland born about the same time as he. Another goal is to search for Spanish natives with the last name of Frame. There should not be too many. These are things I can do on Ancestry.com at home before I leave. I want to have as much time at the FHL to use actual records as I can when not helping other people.
2. The parents of my great-grandmother Ida Mae Sargent Trautvetter Miller.I've written about her several times and while I know the names of her parents and have some information on them post-1880 anything earlier on either of them is elusive. The one thing I haven't really searched are the actual marriage records of Clark County, Missouri, where one record indicates Ida was born. The only other option is to search marriage records for the entire state of Iowa and Missouri starting in southeast Iowa and northeast Missouir and working my way outward.
3. A few other quick "lookups"--a document here, etc. Nothing extensive.

Of course the vast majority of my time will be devoted to helping trip members when they have problems or questions. If I don't get to my problems that is okay with me. They aren't going anywhere.

We still have room on our trip for anyone who has been delaying making a decision.
