Mormon church gives first lady volume of family history
WASHINGTON -- For the second time in less than a year, Mormon church leaders have met with a President Barack Obama family member in the White House to present a volume of history.
First lady Michelle Obama was presented with a volume of her family history Wednesday morning by Elder Dallin H. Oaks of The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints' Quorum of the Twelve Apostles.
Also participating was Sen. Harry Reid, D-Nev.
In July, Mormon church President Thomas S. Monson joined Elder Oaks and Reid in presenting the U.S. president with his family history.
"Last year, the church compiled several volumes for President Barack Obama," Reid said. "This year, I thank Elder Oaks for sharing our faith's tradition of genealogical research with the first lady and her family.
"This documentation of their lineage will be cherished and passed on for future generations," he said. "I am honored that the church can play a part in documenting the history of the first family."

I doubt that the names of the lynch mob which killed Joseph Smith were recorded, but it would be ironic if any of them were subsequently posthumously baptized as Mormons.

It wouldn’t surprise me in the least, they did Vlad the impaler and Hitler.
I’m pretty sure the guy who kicked Smith out of the Masonic lodge has also had his ‘temple work’ done.

I wonder how accurate it is? Mormon records can be REALLY REALLY sloppy.

What they dont have they’ll make up..
Michelle’s ancestors on both sides were slaves...
Where did the info come from ???
Unless the mormons managed to get the original plantation “breeding” documents, there would not be much during those years...
A little slight of hand after the manner of Roots ???
Hey Alex Haley did you know you were related to a first lady ???

Huckabee wants to mobilize Evangelicals to repeal ObamaCare. Will Mitt Romney organize Mormons to oppose ObamaCare? Also will Mitt Romney tell Mormons to stop supporting Harry Reid?

I wonder if Michele understands that all her family is now Mormon?

Not really. Just a little free exposure for you guys. lol.
To: yongin
The mormon church will only mobilize mormons to act in areas that suit their own needs. The fact that in the midst of the Obamacare battle a mormon leader was meeting with Michelle and Harry Reid indicates to me that the mormon church has other plans besides acting with Evangelicals.
This might give you a clue.
