Norma Lee Kidd and Herm Olsen

I need her parent’s names here

Holly Elizabeth Olsen and Adam Taylor Smith

With daughters: Olivia Alexandra  and Ruby Laine Smith

Holly Olsen was born in 1977 in Alexandria, Virginia where she stayed until she was two years old.  Then she and her family moved to Logan, Utah where they stayed.  She grew up loving gymnastics, camping, hiking, etc.  She loved growing up near both sets of grandparents and appreciated the opportunity to get to know them each week.

She always enjoyed school ever since her mother taught her preschool in the basement of their house.  She attended Hillcrest Elementary School, Mount Logan Middle School, Logan High School (graduated in 1996), Utah State, Montgomery College (Maryland), and Utah State again.  Her undergraduate degree is in Spanish, with an international studies minor.  Her graduate degree is in second language teaching.

After high school, she went to Maryland to be a nanny for the same family (with a five-year-old girl) as her older sister, Mandy.  It was a great experience where she gained independence, and learned a lot!  It was there that she decided to serve an LDS mission.  She had the opportunity to go to Minnesota on a Spanish-speaking mission.

One year after her mission she met and married Adam Smith (son of Linda Morse and the late Bryant Smith).  They lived in Logan, working and going to school at the beginning of their marriage.  After graduating, they went on an adventure to Bangkok, Thailand where Holly taught Spanish and Adam did free-lance graphic and web design.  About a year later, Olivia Alexander Smith was born on August 13, 2005, and Adam started a business.  Four months after Olivia was born, they moved back to Logan, where Holly finished her graduate degree and Ruby Laine was born (May 23, 2007).

Currently, they are a happy family of four.  Adam’s business has become Advent Creative and keeps him very busy.  Holly works part-time teaching English at USU and keeps very busy as well.  We recognize how blessed we are and are grateful for so many wonderful experiences and opportunities….and we lived happily ever after!

Kidd History                                         15 March 2014

Dear Family,

This may be our last attempt to gather all the histories before we proceed with the compiling of our George and Minnie Kidd History Book.  We ask you to please take a few minutes and type up your histories if you would like to be included in this book.

Our Family representatives are:

Fern Kidd:  Terry Kidd
Nelda MacPherson: Debbie Buckner

Jack Kidd: Norma Olsen
Clark Kidd: Robert Kidd
You can either get them to your family representative or send them directly to Dianne or Debbie.  I have included our email addresses at the end of this letter.

1. (2^ndGeneration) At this point most of our parents have passed away except Jack and Lillian and Marilyn, Please check for histories they may have written, or with your siblings to get information from them, which hopefully include the following for each family.
   a. Before marriage
   b. Courtship, marriage

2. Family life, things are done as families, positive memories of   attributes, talents, special family experiences and lots of pictures.
3. Spiritual experiences
4. (3^rdgeneration) Which would be the children of Fern, Earl, Nelda, Jack, and Clark.  We ask that you fill out your family group sheet or at least have a list of each of your children and their children if they are married with where they were born and date and marriage date.

We also need your history of you and your spouse and your history as you raised your children, please include special experiences and opportunities you might have had, memories made, and fun traditions you included in your lives.  Please include pictures if you scan them please scan them at, at least 300 dpi to send.  Or send them if you trust us and we will scan them and mail them back to you.  At this point we are not limiting pages…

3. (4^thGeneration) This would be the children of the 5 siblings children. Ie. Norma’s children’s histories and that of their family life etc.
4. Please check for correct attributes.  We want them to be kind, encouraging and please, no negative gossip.  If someone has a spiritual experience of their own to show a positive outcome through something negative, it should only come from the person involved.

   the address is 8024 S. Sunshine Court

   knowledge of them

This is what we are looking for, for George and Minnie…
a. Before marriage information
