Susan Davis reports on the White House.

During a closed door White House meeting today, Mormon Church leaders presented President Barack Obama with his family�s genealogical records, a traditional gift that was also presented to former Presidents George W. Bush and Bill Clinton.

Obama met with The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints President Thomas Monson, and LDS Apostle Dallin Oaks, who chairs the church�s genealogical arm. Senate Majority Leader Harry Reid�the highest ranking Mormon in Congress�was also at the meeting.

“I enjoyed my meeting with President Monson and Elder Oaks. I’m grateful for the genealogical records that they brought with them and am looking forward to reading through the materials with my daughters. It’s something our family will treasure for years to come,� Obama said in a statement.

The Mormon Church is well-known for its extensive genealogical records of Mormons and non-Mormons alike.

The White House did not comment on whether the family tree notes Obama�s distant family link to former Vice President Dick Cheney or movie star Brad Pitt.
