This isn't a Romney thread, this is a Mormon thread accusing us of bigotry.

CC, I respect your history, but here is some of mine. There are a few records of genealogy my mom has forbidden us to do until after she dies (sound familiar? I thought it would)

You see we are related to Governor Boggs. (yes, the guy who signed the extermination order)

She won’t put that in her genealogy. I know a bit about the persecution in Missouri. You were born and raised a Mormon, whatever your status now, you don’t qualify as a Bigot against Mormons, and I’ll defend you against any one who says otherwise.

So you are a descendent of John D Lee, and I am a descendent of Govoner Boggs, kind of gives us a weird link huh?

Cheers

Wow, and now we're on opposite sides. Perhaps God is giving us a chance to rectify the wrongs of our ancestors. It's all playing out right here on FR.

Hey, I’m a descendant of John Taylor, GGG Grandfather in fact. Can I come play?
