Hi Joanne and all, I for one would be in favor of starting with Abraham of Salem for our Temple of the month pick. I would also like to add some comments on the "TEMPLES" surname. Pam Blair contacted me back in May when I started my "Temples in the census" project. She asked me if I was including them in my project. I told her at the time that I was not. However since then I see that I may have to change my mind. Some of you have commented that these Temples seem to use either "TEMPLES" or "TEMPLE". I see it clearly in the census. Some are listed as TEMPLES in one census and back to TEMPLE ten years later.
