  • The Secret Mormon Meetings of 1922
    University of Nevada, Reno THE SECRET MORMON MEETINGS OF 1922 A thesis submitted in partial fulfillment of the requirements for the degree of Master of Arts in History By Shannon Caldwell Montez C. Elizabeth Raymond, Ph.D. / Thesis Advisor December 2019 Copyright by Shannon Caldwell Montez 2019 All Rights Reserved UNIVERSITY OF NEVADA RENO THE GRADUATE SCHOOL We recommend that the thesis prepared under our supervision by SHANNON CALDWELL MONTEZ entitled The Secret Mormon Meetings of 1922 be accepted in partial fulfillment of the requirements for the degree of MASTER OF ARTS C. Elizabeth Raymond, Ph.D., Advisor Cameron B. Strang, Ph.D., Committee Member Greta E. de Jong, Ph.D., Committee Member Erin E. Stiles, Ph.D., Graduate School Representative David W. Zeh, Ph.D., Dean, Graduate School December 2019 i Abstract B. H. Roberts presented information to the leadership of the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints in January of 1922 that fundamentally challenged the entire premise of their religious beliefs. New research shows that in addition to church leadership, this information was also presented during the neXt few months to a select group of highly educated Mormon men and women outside of church hierarchy. This group represented many aspects of Mormon belief, different areas of eXpertise, and varying approaches to dealing with challenging information. Their stories create a beautiful tapestry of Mormon life in the transition years from polygamy, frontier life, and resistance to statehood, assimilation, and respectability. A study of the people involved illuminates an important, overlooked, underappreciated, and eXciting period of Mormon history.

  • After Three Months Travel the Aaron Johnson Company Arrived in Salt Lake City on September 5, 1850
    After three months travel the Aaron Johnson Company arrived in Salt Lake City on September 5, 1850. Up until this time the Saints arriving in the Salt Lake Valley were staying in the valley,but this time had come to expand settlement to other areas. The first settlers had been sent to the Utah Valley in 1849. The Utah Valley could be a rich farming area, plus Utah Lake and the rivers provided a great source of easily available protein from fish, that the pioneers in Salt Lake Valley needed. For these reasons it was decided to try establishing a settlement there. As wagon trains arrived in the Valley in 1850 people with family in the valley stayed there and the wagon trains were sent south to the Utah Valley. Settling in the Utah Valley was not easy because it was a traditional Indian hunting ground, so white settlers were not welcome. The first settlers built two forts where they could live protected from the Indians. As more settler arrived they started setting up homesteads around the forts. The City of Provo was laid out and each family steeled on a plated portion of the City. Every family had a quarter of a block, enough room for a garden or orchards, plus room for barns and corrals. The farms were outside the city, but the settlers lived in the city. This plan made better protection against the Indians and also allowed for more social interaction among the settlers.1 Fort Utah The 1850 Census was taken just four days after the family arrived in Provo.

HCM patients bearing similar sarcomeric mutations display variable clinical outcomes, implying the involvement of gene modifiers that regulate disease progression. As individuals exhibiting mutations in mitochondrial DNA (mtDNA) present cardiac phenotypes, the mitochondrial genome is a promising candidate to harbor gene modifiers of HCM. Herein, we sequenced the mtDNA of isogenic pluripotent stem cell-cardiomyocyte models of HCM focusing on two sarcomeric mutations.

  • Pedigree Charts
    3.4 Inheritance Essential idea: The inheritance of genes follows patterns. The patterns that genes and the phenotypes they generate can be mapped using pedigree charts. The image show a small section of a pedigree chart that maps the inheritance of hair colour in an extended family over several generations. Analysis of pedigree charts enables us to the nature of the inheritance; controlled by dominant or recessive alleles? linked to the sex chromosomes? controlled by multiple genes or a single gene? By Chris Paine http://www.bioknowledgy.info/ http://www.indiana.edu/~oso/lessons/Genetics/RealColors.html Understandings Statement Guidance 3.4.U1 Mendel discovered the principles of inheritance with experiments in which large numbers of pea plants were crossed. 3.4.U2 Gametes are haploid so contain only one allele of each gene. 3.4.U3 The two alleles of each gene separate into different haploid daughter nuclei during meiosis. 3.4.U4 Fusion of gametes results in diploid zygotes with two alleles of each gene that may be the same allele or different alleles. 3.4.U5 Dominant alleles mask the effects of recessive alleles but co-dominant alleles have joint effects. 3.4.U6 Many genetic diseases in humans are due to recessive alleles of autosomal genes, although some genetic diseases are due to dominant or co-dominant alleles. 3.4.U7 Some genetic diseases are sex-linked. The pattern of Alleles carried on X chromosomes should be inheritance is different with sex-linked genes due to shown as superscript letters on an upper case X, their location on sex chromosomes.

  • Comments to Genealogical Charts and Records
    Comments to genealogical charts and records. There are many things that could be included in charts and records like these. I have chosen to limit the information as most of us will use these carts for note-taking only, while the storing and organizing of the data are done by some sort of digital solution. Four generation pedigree chart If you use this chart for your first steps into genealogy, I recommend that you get familiarized with genealogical numbering systems. Sufficient for these charts is the “Ahnentafel system” which is a genealogical numbering system for listing a person's direct ancestors in a fixed sequence of ascent. The subject (proband or progenitor) of the ahnentafel (pedigree chart) is listed as No. 1, the subject's father as No. 2 and the mother as No. 3, the paternal grandparents as No. 4 and No. 5 and the maternal grandparents as No. 6 and No. 7, and so on, back through the generations. This means the father always has the number twice the number of the child. The mother’s number is twice the number + 1 of the child. Family group record In the “Family group record” I have added a section for additional information. If the number of children or sources exceed what is made room for in the form, I suggest you use this section. If your source is a document you possess, the space for “Archive” in the “Family group sheet” can be used to record where you keep this document (binder no./drawer no./etc). Saving the records When you fill inn and save these records on your computer, you should give each record a unique name relevant to the content of that particular chart.
