Meeting Notes and Questions, May 8, 2014

To Do

1. Figure out which day I can take off for the summer to do research. Thursday is best, or Thursday and Friday mornings before noon. DONE: Thursday.
2. Create a table view of women who are polyandrous (married multiple husbands). DONE.
3. Get real data into the Sankey diagram. DONE.
   • Limit to the Annointed Quorum (use the Q12 and Seventy until Kathleen gets back with the AQ list)
   • Have an option to ask for a specific person (such as Brigham Young) – later down the list, though
4. Reply to Jill re:Status of the date fix. Anything else I should do? DONE.
5. Look at wife death dates in the chord diagram over time. They seem to be sticking around after their deaths. DONE.
   • Ex: see Brigham Young and Miriam Works

Interesting Names

1. Susa Young (1856-1937)

2. _____ Diana Huntington
   • Married multiple times
3. Joseph Smith’s wives

Other Views

1. Choose a person and see the marriage units they are associated with. So, the biological parents of this person, but also any adoptions into other families. Show other relations between those marriage units as well, so noting if the person was adopted to a marriage unit because of their sister’s wedding into that marriage. See sketch on the notes from today.
2. Choose a church organization (AQ) and see all people in that group and their relations (how are they related by blood, office, sacrament, etc).
3. Quorum over time
   • Relationships between quorum and family
   • WE WANT TO SEE: “The frist time they take a second wife is X months after being annointed to the __ organization”
     • Is there a relationship between getting into the church hierarchy and starting to be polygamous, or vice versa?
   • Really cool idea for this graph is sketched on the second page of notes for today.

Organization of Relationships

This keeps changing, but we have

Church              Temple              Family
 - Authority         - Sacrimental       - Blood
 - Office

Also, a list of the relations:

• Sealing
• Blood
• Office (Priesthood) - Quorum (Annointed Quorum) - “Apostle”
• Sacrament (Temple)
• Ecclesiastical Position

Notes

• There were many women that had multiple husbands. It would be interesting to see how/if they were trading up to “better” men.
