This discussion provided me with insight I had never considered before, but
am actively thinking now. My Christiansen and Jensen family departed Denmark
in the 1850s, following a civil war and freedom of religion act that led to
their ostracism for rejecting Lutheranism. I know zero about the Lutheran
Church, but wonder what archaeological distinctions one might find in a Lutheran
versus Catholic residence during that period? Of course, my family were
neither and joined 89,000 emigrants to North America in that same time period. Can
anyone address the question of Lutheran archaeology? This leads into the late
19th century emerging Mormon communities in Deseret, where the 89,000 people
landed. I anticipate Tim Scarlet might have insight on this question.
