Introduction

My name is John Black. I am a great grandson of Hans Lorentz Dastrup. I am a native of Sigurd, Utah,  I was born and subsequently raised in the home my grandfather John Dastrup built. My mother is Mary Beatrice Dastrup Black, daughter of John and Minnie Snow Dastrup.  I grew up working in the hay, sugar beet, and potatoes fields along side my grandpa John Dastrup and my Uncle Harvey Dastrup.

I would like to give credit for the design of this web site to my grandson, Joseph Bergen, who over the years developed, and supported, a number of genealogy websites for me, while at the same time working his way through Stanford and Harvard University.
