RE: Hey all I am new here, check out my post to learn about me!
Jess, I am so glad you're here and I'm excited to learn more about you.
I was raised in the LDS faith and often had to field questions about polygamy, I can't imagine living in that type of family and community.
@rachelhanson, I don't know why but I wondered this about you. Maybe your last name. Guess what, it's possible your husband has polygamous ancestors with that last name if he grew up lds as well. :-) My grandma was a Hansen. It's spelled different but they change their last names so they can't be discovered so the spelling could have been tweaked.
I'm not LDS anymone, and my husband never has been :). But my maiden name is Kelson, with the original Danish spelling of Kjeldsen. They immigrated after joining the church and settled in Ephraim, UT :).
That's where my dads family came from and ended up settling... interesting.
Huh, that is interesting. What a small world it is!
No kidding. Our ancestors probably knew each other. 😊
