Krista, also known as Shimmer, and forever known in her homeland as The Kirton Kid, has unearthed and published her family’s 400-year lineage—now live at DoesThisHelp.com/LDS and kirton.me/#Krista.

This isn’t just a discovery—it’s a declaration. Her roots reach through the founding families of New Amsterdam, including Joris Jansen Rapelje and Catalina Trico, down through Judith Rapalje, into the Van Nest and Cossart lines, and ultimately to Grandmother Audrey—the Cardston, Alberta matriarch who crossed through Canada and Idaho to settle in Draper, Utah, where she now lays to rest, her legacy sealed in faith and fire.

Krista is the daughter of Staff Sergeant John W. Kirton Sr., a Korean War veteran buried at the Salt Lake City Cemetery. A builder, a brother, a father—his hands once shaped gardens, and his spirit now watches over her stand.

Now, K.—Shimmer—The Kirton Kid—guards her 2.5-acre land in Rancho del Oro from trespassers and false claimants. Her defense is not just legal—it’s generational. It’s spiritual.

“When you came for me,” she says, “you stepped on the legacy of 400 years. I warned you not to mess with me. Now Daddy’s gonna get cha.”

This is not just a family tree. It is a pillar. A sword passed down through time, now wielded by K.—carrying names, stories, and sacred land forward into the next century.
