And I am related by blood to Abraham, Isaac, and Jacob. I’ll take my heritage over his any damn day.

LDS historian and author Todd Compton maintains a 'working' genealogy of Mitt Romney at this website.
A more complete
genealogy of Mitt Romney was posted at my first post.

A more complete genealogy of Mitt Romney was posted at my first post.Thank you, Brown Deer. The genealogy you posted is more complete in the sense that it goes back further, as a single-line, single-individual, date of birth and death (etc.) genealogy.
Some people are interested in other details to fill out a person's life. For example, I'm always interested when I find out that an ancestor was a coffin builder in the Indian Territory, or had fourteen children, or lost three wives between two censuses.
Compton's genealogy of Romney includes details such as where Romney's closest ancestors were born and whey they were there; the names and number of siblings; movement from the U.S. to Mexico and return to the U.S.; the importance of polygamy as a sacred and traditional part of life to the point that they would leave the U.S. to colonize Mexico (and return because of the Mexican Revolution).
Todd Compton is a practicing member of the LDS Church. He's a respected LDS professor, writer, and historian, whose books win awards. His positions are neo-faithful - you'll see that he expresses sympathy with LDS members who leave the U.S. because federal laws threaten to take property from LDS members for practicing polygamy.
The genealogy you posted is fascinating because of how far it goes back, but to me it's a skeleton. Those are assembled for the purpose of baptism for the dead. Most people are interested in fleshing some things out. What did my ancestors do? Where did they live? Did they move around? Did they serve in the military? How did they die? And so on.

I can assure you that was NOT "assembled for the purpose of baptism for the dead."

I can assure you that was NOT "assembled for the purpose of baptism for the dead."You know, don't you, that RootsWeb.com, Genealogy.com, MyFamily.com, and Ancestry.com have an LDS connection, don't you? And that Joseph Smith said our most important work is baptizing our dead? And that the Mormons are really, really good at at baptizing (and a tad too zealous about it; just ask Jews from the Holocaust)? That a lot of people who shared genealogical information with distant relatives that happened to be LDS are now surprised . . . LDS baptisms.

So what? What your original statement was, "The genealogy you posted is fascinating because of how far it goes back, but to me it's a skeleton. Those are assembled for the purpose of baptism for the dead."
and what you stated, is a flat out lie!
What did your leader tell you about lying before he was charged with murder, arson, theft, rebellion, and treason?
