Honestly researching this sent me down the craziest rabbit hole. I’m 31 and never knew/heard most of this history.

I love your page sooo much as a non Mormon who’s always lived in Utah. I just wanna give you props for whatever healing work you have had to do to heal from this kind of generational trauma

My GGG grandfather had about 35 wives and about 60 children. He also follow the similar path as yours. I will have to look again, I don’t think Porter is in our family tree.

and THATS why the family history app has a function to see how closely related you are to people nearby via bluetooth- so you can see if your ward crush is actually a little too close of a cousin

My ancestor, William Draper (the city in Utah is named after him) wrote in his life history, "I had a large family". Understatement of the year.

You know i was curious when u say some of your family member were not considered worthy to attend the church wedding. Was it because they’re not mormon or they didnt do certain things like tithing

sad noodle in the big smoke :
Is their hierarchy in Mormon communities dependant on how far back ones Mormons lineage goes? I.e if your family joined early on, are you more “powerful” within the community?
