Ancestors that lived in Nauvoo

I was aware of some ancestors that had lived and even died and were buried in the Old Nauvoo Cemetery, before coming here.  Mark knew that some of his ancestors must have lived here because of the histories we have.  But he was surprised at how many of his were actually here.  About the 2nd week that we were here we went to the Land & Records Office to see.  I have been serving there at least once a week and have learned lots of things.  The main purpose of the office is for visitors to find their ancestors that were here and where they lived.  It is exciting for them to discover this information.  We went to the Old cemetery one day and found the headstones of my ancestors.  As we have learned the history of things, we discovered that some of Mark's ancestors were the very last to receive their endowments in the temple before it was closed, on Feb. 3, when Brigham Young tried to leave to prepare his wagons for the exodus, but seeing the throng of people there desiring their temple blessings, went back in the temple and worked all through the night.  Amazing Nauvoo miracles for our family.
