I would like to share my story here, while encouraging you to share your story as well. Be sure to go and submit your story within the ten-day time period.<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

\"meme<\/a>My grandmother, Jeanne Seguin Argault, was from Auxerre, France. As a young mother trying to make ends meet she needed to be creative in providing for her family. Her husband had recently purchased a cow, so she decided she could learn how to make butter and sell it. Having never done this before, she went to the library to check out a book on making butter and proceeded to practice this new craft.<\/p>\n

Soon it was time for the yearly fair and she decided to enter her butter. She won first place!<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

Not only do I see her determination, gumption, and courage, I also see where I learned how to love books. Books are not just based on pleasure reading, but they are where to find knowledge and truth. This is how she became a member of The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints, by reading and recognizing the truth in the Book of Mormon. She never stopped enjoying books. She taught my mother to love books, and I have always been a book reader; not just for pleasure, but to learn and understand things better.\u00a0I love knowing this story for the heritage and connection I feel with her.<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

Be sure to share your story. Go to\u00a0FamilySearch.org\/MeetMyGrandma<\/a>.<\/p>\n
