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

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 grandpa had 6 wives and always tells me how great it was but my mom wants nothing to do with Mormonism because for the dozens on kids it’s not a good time

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?

As an adoptee I always wished that my bio family had records like my Mormon friends did 🤣🤣🤣 they’d have 7 generations of knowledge and I’m over here not knowing what ethnicity I even am 🤣🤣🤣

my husband from Utah is from both Brigham Young and Joseph Smith. His Great grandmother left Utah for California and her children joined the church and brought her back to Utah. She wasn't happy 😒

Is there a hierarchy between the wives or are they all equal(ish) among each other?
