When everyone is here for Ambers wedding reception I am hoping to get some help figuring this out. Until then, my question is, Can all of the authors invite people to become authors? If so, please invite any family that you have an email address for. Thanks.

Randall Nielsen

The picture of the baby in the dress was given to my mother by her in-laws. She was told it was a picture of my dad, Randall Nielsen. I think the picture was intended to preserve the dress, not just the baby. Dad was born in 1899, and his grandfather, Peter Lars Nielsen, did not die until 1919 and lived in Monroe with Dad's parents Nephi and Zelaine Nielsen. He was a tailor by trade, and had been converted to the gospel as he listened to the Mormon missionaries preach on the street outside his little tailor shop in Denmark. I suspect that christening gown was his handiwork. It might have been Zelaine's or her mom, Ellen Amelia Lisenbee, as they were very good with the needle too, and it was Ellen's skill with the needle which kept her family from starving after she was widowed. Fine needlework was the framework of this Nielsen/Lisenbee family.

Zelaine and Dora Lisenbee

The brown picture of the two little girls is of my grandmother, Zelaine Lisenbee and her sister Dora. They later married brothers, Nephi Heber Nielsen and Brigham Enoch Nielsen. They are the two little girls in the spoof on pural marriage I had Lige take and read on the plane going home. Zealine was the little girl who woke up under the snow to hear her mother crying, and holding little Dora in the springboard wagon.

I think that a family blog will be a great way to share pictures and family stories. Here is my first contribution. Aren't those boys handsome! And why does the look of Euroca's face make me think she is plotting something?

I am still trying to figure this out, it may just take me FOREVER!

Welome family

Welcome family to our new family blog. After spending an evening with Ben we thought this might be a way to keep in touch. We would like to invite all of Lige and Narlynn Dicksons posterity to comment, post pictures, share news and so forth on this blog. Also if you have a blog of your own, link it. We will try this and see how it works. Please help if you have any know how on how to blog.
