as early as 1874 Mormon President Young was planing for Mormon colonies in Northern Mexico, the first colonists set out in 1875, while Young in 1877 wanted more major colonization fear of Apache raiders slowed the idea, in the 1880s under LDS President Tyler and thanks to Congress passing federal anti-polygamy laws, more colonies were set up, 12 in all, the Romney family has its roots in these Mexican Mormon colonies, is there any way to get a major (majority?) Mormon population in Northern Mexico?
