Thomas and Margaret John Family Organization
Thomas and Margaret John are Welch immigrants. They made their home in a small valley in northern Utah where they raised their family. Today, their many descendants live far and wide but still come together often to honor them. The Thomas and Margaret Family Organization was formed more than a century ago, and with time a rich history has been built.
