Mormons believe that earthly marriage will continue in Heaven, so will the many Mormons who use to practise polygamy have more than one wife in Heaven?

when we get to heaven, we will be like angels of God and our earthly relations would not be the same in heaven.

This is an opinion, with an emphasis on "opinion." Here is an idea: I think there have been many young single men (and women) killed in wars throughout the history of the world, and the law of compensation will come into effect. I believe that there is someone for everyone, and if someone did not meet and marry their eternal companion in this life, we will have the entire Milennium after the Second Coming of Jesus Christ and the preparations necessary before the Resurrection, to work out how families are organized. If there is any polygamy in heaven, it will be a tiny minority. Again, this is an opinion, with an emphasis on the word "opinion."

If they were sealed to them in the temple, yes. If they were only married civilly, no.
Let me share a short story:
My neighbor's mom died when he was 12 years old, he also had a younger brother who was 7 or 8...his parents were sealed in the temple, meaning their marriage will be in full force after they both die. His dad later re-married and was sealed to his new wife. They have had 3 children together. Now, since he was sealed to both of the women, he will be married to both of them in the Celestial Kingdom (as long as of course they remain faithful to their temple covenants.) Now, why would the Lord make him choose which wife he wanted to spend eternity with, that would be cruel...and of course we know God is Love so he has provided a way for us to be sealed throughout eternity. Women cannot be sealed to more than one man though...I am sure it has something to do with Priesthood authority in the family unit.
****ALSO one must be married eternally to even "get into" the Celestial Kingdom, a man cannot become a god without his wife neither can a woman become a goddess without her husband...

He did not have 34 wives! That is a bold faced lie! He had 52 wives and 112 kids. What a country.

There are still some mormons in Utah that still practice polygamy even though it's illegal, and no they will not have no wives in heaven.

And where does the Bible forbid polygamy? Did you notice that adultery is confined to women only -- men are allowed several wives and concubines.

The Mormon faith teaches that when men die (not women) they become gods like Jesus and get their on planet to rule as a patriarch divinity. And yes, the lucky ones will have a bunch of women to serve them.

Probably, but only God knows. I don't think anyone really has a clear view of what will take place after this life.
