Hugh sigh of relief I'm Not Related to Mitt Romney

My family were some of the earliest Mormons, so I was more than a little concerned that I might be related to Mittens.

I read that the church has Mormons posted full time monitoring and "adjusting" Wiki content to suit their needs.

Considering how the Mormons proliferate, there are quite a few people related to Mitt. But I can trace my ancestry back and none of them came from Mexico.
