- I have just heard from a distant cousin that they are working on a reprinting of the Journals of Herman F. F. Thorup book titled Dedicated Faith and compiled by Renee Blackburn Jacks. They are adding a missionary list from the descendants of Herman F. F. and are still collecting information.
- If you are a descendant please share your name, line you are through and where you served so it can be included in the book!
- Also...if you want a wonderful copy of these invaluable records please let me know also and I will pass on your information.
Thanks! - Jerusha

Dedicated Faith
I have finally finished digitizing the pages to the book compiled by Renee Blackburn Jacks, great granddaughter to Herman F. F. Thorup titled "Dedicated Faith, The Journals of Herman F. F. Thorup, 1879-1929"
I chose to photograph the pages rather than scan them and they are saved at a low resolution to save space. It is not the best, but the book is too large for the binding to hold up to a flat scanner. But you can read it and that is the important part. Any family that is interested in having a copy just let me know and I will send you the images. I will update you if I ever locate more books or a better digital copy.
I have only read over a small portion of the pages so far but am already very moved by the hardship he and his family endured and the strength of his faith. His experiences are powerful and his words are a great strength for his descendants. What a blessing he has left us, the opportunity to know him and to be touched by his testimony. Journal writing has great purpose and powerful influence in the present and the future. Record your journey.

Thorup Family Ties
I found a great website for those descended from Herman August Thorup and Marie Christine Christensen. This may be old news to most of you. I have become out of touch with what is available on line lately.
Here is the link http://www.thorupfamilyties.org/
It has stories, biographies, photos and other interesting information available such as family recipes!
Thanks to all for sharing this with us.
