His work is also slated to be featured on the History Channel within the next year.<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;It&#8217;s more of a hobby for me. I enjoy doing family history,&#8221; Brad Jencks told ABC4 News. &#8220;Our family&#8217;s really into family history and it&#8217;s just a tender part of my heart.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>Jencks&#8217; work began two years ago when he approached the Jordan School District with his 100-hour Eagle Scout service project proposal. The district inherited the Bingham Cemetery when Bingham was disincorporated. Jencks wanted to compile a complete and accurate database for families like his with ancestors buried in the cemetery.<\/p><\/blockquote>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>ABC 4 has an article\/story, <a href=\"http:\/\/www.abc4.com\/local_news\/local_headlines\/story.aspx?content_id=2B810A3E-6955-4574-A0DE-B171184A75CB\">Utah teen&#8217;s love for genealogy earns him time on History Channel<\/a>, about a fifteen year old working on his Eagle Scout project that involves genealogy research and cemetery preservation.
