Hi,
I am your cousin too. Cheryl Jensen is my niece. My mother, Grace Estella Calderwood Marchant, is John M Calderwood's and Grace Brimhall's daughter. My sister, Sylvia Marchant West was my grandma's favorite, but isn't she all of ours favorite. She used to stay with Grandma Calderwood for weeks at a time and has a lot of memories.
What can I say about Grandpa Calderwood? He is the dearest person and I am very anxious to see him again. He had the Calderwood sense of humor and we used to laugh and laugh at his stories.
I am too young to have met your Grandpa Alexander Calderwood but I remember my mother used to call him Uncle Alec.
Our family, Grace Estella Calderwood Marchant's, would go to Calderwood family reunions at a park called Liberty in Salt Lake City. It wasn't that far from where Grandpa and Grandma lived. I remember just loving all Grandpa's brothers and sisters. They were such warm and loving people. I particularly remember Aunt Belle and Aunt Jennie. They would give me big hugs and help me feel so welcomed at the reunions. I am so looking forward to seeing all of them again and to meeting all of my ancestors.
I am more than happy to share what I have. Cheryl has most of the information, but I might have something that would be of interest, I don't know.
At any rate it would be nice to hear back from you and be able to get to know you.
Estella Kathleen Marchant Dahl
