You'd have to ask the people who received them. I only know of a few.

Help me understand, are you saying that most new converts are also Lamanites?

No, though most Hispanic converts are and where I live they make up around 60% of our converts.

Nehor, is there a need for Lamanites to be of direct Jewish heritage, or can they simply be adopted into the tribe of Laman? I suppose either way that would make them chosen.
