I wouldn't be so sure!

*Someone out there is at least claiming to be...

I met a direct descendant of Joseph Smith...
His name is Kirk. I met him last night at my friend Sonny's birthday party. Funny guy. He had a cold and was nocking back nyquil like his life depended on it. He's a non-practicing Mormon, and has been doing a lot of research on polygamy, and found that his great (great?) grandmother (I was pretty drunk) was the 19th wife of Mr. Smith himself. How's that for some crazy


Again from an article in Meridian:

The great-great granddaughter of Joseph Smith, Gracia Jones, as well as direct descendant of Hyrum Smith, Joseph Fielding McConkie, will speak on the Smith family.


Oh, and lest we forget the prominent ones:

M. Russell Ballard, Direct descendent, LDS Church Leader

This very message board that you're reading.

What will the people who knew you say about you when you're gone?


Hopefully that I was the one moderator/administrator who finally "got it right."

Will anyone remember you, in 50 years?


That depends on whether the Internet as we know it now is still around.

Ballard is a direct descendant of Hyrum Smith not Joseph.

The purpose of all the covenants we make is to learn to be Christlike. If we go out of this life and leave behind us a good impression of what a christian is supposed to be, and people can associate the name of Christ with our name, then we have accomplished all that God could ask of us.
