Brigham Young

Factual Questions
1

The other weekend my parents were going through old family photos, from the mid 19th century, and came across one titled Brigham Young. It’s from the right place - Liverpool - and from the right period - and it very much looks like a picture of Brigham Young Jr except older and more distinguished. And it’s not a print. This has piqued the family interest. The families were big in shipping in Liverpool at the time. BTW bearded, I’m a dead ringer for my great-grandfather.

As an additional point, the family were big supporters of Garibaldi - to the extent of having a dinner service made - and we wonder if there’s an additional connection.

I’ve had a look at Brigham Young University’s website but have not spotted an email address for their archive or history departments. Can some Doper please point me in the right direction?

Here is the contact info for Chruch Archives in Salt Lake City, UT

I’m not having any more success then you did on the BYU site. The name of the main library on campus is the Harold B. Lee Library.

The area code for that part of Utah is 801 so if you called information (801-555-1212) you could reach them that way.

Congrats on such an interesting find. Good luck reaching them.

Thank you. Unfortunately the box of pictures is now miles away.
