President Romney was released on Wednesday after a ransom was delivered to the kidnappers. Pres. Romney had been kept in a cave near three rivers, a familiar spot for the Colonists. The amount of the ransom has not been disclosed.

The community continues to take pro-active measures to ensure the safety of their families. They are being educated by experts on ways to avoid future incidences.

URGENT: Reports are coming out of Mexico that President Meredith Romney was kidnapped by masked gunmen at the gate of his ranch near Janos, Chihuahua, late Monday afternoon.

(16 June 2009) Romney's wife, Karen, and his twelve-year-old grandson were left at the scene when the gunmen fled in their unlicensed, unmarked black Jeep Cherokee. The motives of the kidnapping are unclear at this time but the family remains hopeful that the situation will be resolved quickly and positively within the next few days. The community has begun a fast for the safe and speedy return of President Romney. In recent months, the local communities have taken pro-active measures to ensure the safety of their citizens. National law enforcement agencies have been supportive in education and readiness training for at-risk groups in northern Mexico.

Steve Dockstader said it better than we could when he made the following comment: "
How interesting that so many decendants of the original Colonia residents have found this site. I would venture to say that there would be no other realistic way for us to find one another and exchange stories and information and most of all, learn about where we come from. Just because of what I have learned here I have kept looking into my family history."

How interesting that so many decendants of the original Colonia residents have found this site. I would venture to say that there would be no other realistic way for us to find one another and exchange stories and information and most of all, learn about where we come from. Just because of what I have learned here I have kept looking into my family history. My living grandmother's maiden name is Johnson, her father, my great grandfather, was Abia Johnson, son of William Derby Johnson Sr., who was son of Julia Hills and Ezekiel Johnson. A few days ago I found a website that promoted a book series besed on the life of Julia Hills Johnson called "A Banner Unfurled". So what is it with this family? This family (many of us?) seems to be woven into the very fabric of the LDS society now and from early on. I am thinking a lot of us who find or are drawn to this site are related to one another. That is fascinating if you think about it. Do you think there are other sites like this commonly found on the Internet? I don't think so, but who knows?
Anyway, who all is related to me and my family? I think it would be interesting to know. Anyone who finds these people in their genealogy: Julia Hills and Ezekiel Johnson, Peter K. Lemmon and Sarah Buchanan, Vivian Lemmon and Abia Johnson, Helen Whiting and Archibald Buchanan, Georg and Anna Dockstader to name a few.

My sister's name. I was wondering who you were speaking about. My sister was born in Tucson, AZ in 1930 and died in Medford, OR in 1985. Is there another Helen Whiting?
