Yes. George Romney, Mitt's father, was born in Northern Mexico.
The Romney family migrated to Mexico in the 1880's (I believe) to practice polygamy after the U.S. began to crack down on the practice. They founded a group known as the Romneyites.
IIRC, George's father left the cult but chose to remain in Mexico. George emigrated to the United States where he joined the Utah LDS church and had a distinguished career in business and as governor of Michigan.
George made a run for the presidency and the question arose concerning whether he was qualified to assume the office since he was not born in the US. George's campaign never took off, and the matter became moot.

I heard him give a speech in NH during the campaign in 1968. He was a good speaker. I don’t remember anyone talking about him being a Mormon.
