Growing up I heard many stories about my great-great grandpa Henry Moon. He and his family joined the LDS (or Mormon) church in England and traveled across the Atlantic ocean to the United States with the first shipload of saints. He then traveled across the country to what is now Utah with the other pioneers who were seeking refuge from persecution.

Now I know the basics of his life, but I want to learn more about who he was, what trials he faced, and what he learned throughout his life. Henry Moon has thousands and thousands of descendants and I know many people have done research on his life. I want to compile what I find and comment on what I find interesting on this blog. I know it is important to learn about our ancestors and who they were, to learn from their lives and become better people because of those who came before us.
