I suggest that on June 13th at 6:00 pm we gather for dinner at Tucanos Brazillian Grill at the Gateway, or some other restaurant at the Gateway. There is easier parking there and more options than Temple Square.
Friday, June 14th we start our historic tour of Temple Square beginning at the Daughters of the Utah Pioneer museum.
I would like to contact their history department and set a display and tour up. As well as talk about the Carter connection with the DUP. We would begin at 9:00 am until 11:00 am
From 11-1 we would then tour the new Church History museum
Possible archives: Eliza Carter Snow history of Hannah Knight Libby Carter
Letter of William to Dominicus May 9th to 1883

COMMENTS:
According to Coleman’s Carter Pioneers of Utah, p.254 Nellie died young (some family records do not show her as a daughter of Dominicus and Frances Nash Carter).
In a notebook maintained by Elizabeth FENTIMAN Nash, mother of Frances NASH, Dominicus and Frances did not have a daughter named Nellie Ann and supports the above statement.
Does anyone know where this notebook is now?
NOTWITHSTANDING (f) – This famous example of bizarre New England Puritan names comes from Genealogy as Pastime and Profession, (1930) by Donald Lines Jacobus, and is cited by him as an example of “the old custom of opening the Bible with eyes shut and giving the child the name which happened to be nearest the pointing finger.” Given the short life of at least one bearer, use of this name more likely reflects (justified) parental fear that their infant was not long for this world, but also faith that despite grim earthly prospects, its baptism assured eternal bliss hereafter.

THANKFUL (f) – The name is formed from the English adjective and is an example of a “virtue name” favored by the Puritans. This is the term for a group of given names commemorating good qualities that pious parents might wish their children to embody. In this case, the name reminds the child (and, by extension, those around her) to be thankful to God for blessings received.

On birth certificate for Bertha Pearl BRYCE… you will notice three errors:
Only her surname is provided. No given name at all.
>> At the top it states that there is an amended version dated 1-7-1966. Does anyone have a copy of this amended birth certificate?
It lists her city of birth as Boyce instead of Bryce.
Her mother name is listed as Bryce, Sarah J
>>I have her name as Sarah Catherine CARTER. Does anyone know what the J possibly represents?
