abqfriend, there are many splinter groups from the LDS church. RLDS or today known as Community of Christ Church was split off over those who felt that Joseph Smith's son should be the next prophet upon his death. There are others who split off due to offenses taken. There are those who didn't want to go west with Brigham Young and his group.
