When their actual history was starting to come out and their leaders started focusing on business and politics instead of people.
Around the 90s. Hinckley is the face of the face lift but even my great grandfather Hugh Brown probably helped push for it with his nephew Nathan Tanner to increase the affluence and influence of the church.
Their "interesting" connection.
"N. Eldon Tanner was the nephew of Hugh B. Brown (Hugh's sister, Edna, married Nathan W. Tanner, and they were the parents of N. Eldon Tanner)."
And other connections.
"Elder Victor L. Brown, the 10th Presiding Bishop of the church, was closely related to three other General Authorities. Elder Victor L. Brown's father, Gerald S. Brown, was Elder Hugh B. Brown's brother, thus Elder Victor L. Brown was a nephew of Elder Hugh B. Brown. Elder Victor L. Brown was also the 2nd-great-grandson of Samuel C. Lee, as was President Harold B. Lee. Thus, Elder Brown and President Lee were 3rd cousins. Elder Victor L. Brown was also related to President Nathan Eldon Tanner. Elder Brown's 2nd-great-grandfather, Nathan Tanner, was also the great-grandfather of Nathan Eldon Tanner. Thus, Elder Brown and President Tanner were 2nd cousins once removed."
