Description

“There never has been a plural marriage by the consent or sanction or knowledge or approval of the church since the manifesto.” Weelll, Joseph F. Smith, that might not be the whole story. In this session, Lindsay Hansen Park and Bryan Buchanan (co-hosts of the Sunstone Mormon History Podcast) will unveil a new online database that attempts to catalog all known marriages between 1890 and the Second Manifesto of 1904 (spoiler: there were hundreds). Ongoing research has led to some trends and themes—listen to fascinating stories of these unauthorized authorized marriages.
