Do the Deseret alphabet of the English language and alphabetical systems of the American indigenous languages have any future?
I think linguists (including missionaries), who create alphabets, are great enthusiasts. Competition of languages or alphabets of different origin exists in varying degrees in all multi-ethnic societies.
What do you think on it?

Dear Tom,
often creating alphabets is very closely connected with formation and development of religious communities. Stephen of Perm, an Orthodox monk, composed an alphabet for Zyriane, Lama Zaya Pandita – a new alphabet
todo bichig
for the Kalmyk people, Zanabazar – for Mongolians. We can continue this list. The Deseret alphabet is very interesting from many points of view, esp. as (more or less) successful result of local language policy of one of the religiuos groups.
I hope, you will always find a necessary help for your research of family history,
Olga
