April 23, 2009 Zion's Promise Sequel Cousin Chris Jefferies' sequel to his Zion's Promise, a historical novel based largely on William Jefferies' journal, is now published and available. Go to his website, www.zionspromise.com, and look for volume 3, Amidst War's Alarms. Volumes 1 & 2 are the same as the original yellow-covered edition, so if you've read that, you won't need these. March 22, 2009 Site Redesign I have redesigned the website, in order to make it easier for me to keep things updated, as well as allow any member of the family to make their own additions and edits to the genealogy database. In order to do this you need to visit the website and register for an account.
The Journal and Gallery sections still need to be converted over to the new website, and if you want to see the old website, just go to old.williamjefferies.org.
If you have any questions let me know. August 27, 2006 My Grandpa Jefferies passed away A couple of weeks ago, my grandpa, Marvin Chester Jefferies, passed away.   He lived a good life, and I feel blessed to have been close to him, and for the chance my children had to meet and visit with him.   Last weekend I attended his funeral in Nyssa, Oregon, and it was good to see all of the family there.   We all shed tears, of course, but behind the sorrow was the joy of knowing that death is not the end, and that someday we would be together again.   I have added to the website my grandpa's obituary and the funeral program.

My grandpa's cousin, Ynez Diaz Eskelson, also passed away a week and a half ago.   They were only a year a part in age and they both attended East High School in Salt Lake City, Utah at the same time.   I have added his obituary to the website as well.
