Pages 553–688. A number of updates and changes have been
made to the reference material. The updates correct factual errors, add
additional information, and remove biographical information that, while
possibly accurate, could not be documented in primary sources or the
most reliable secondary sources. Because the reference material supports
all published volumes and all documents published on the website, the
Smith Papers staff will not keep a record of the specific changes made
to each entry published in Council of Fifty, Minutes. Readers should
refer to the Reference section of the Joseph Smith Papers website to
find the corrected and updated information.
