Ha, ha, a bombshell? Does anyone here use Facebook?  They have a "you're related" service to help you find relatives.  I haven't really used it, because I have plenty of relatives and ways to find them.  But they sometimes send notices that so-and-so may be a relative.  They sent me a note that said I'm related to President Obama.  I didn't think so, but I looked, and it looked hokey.  Anyway, I guess they sent that to just about everyone on Facebook.  It was an April Fools joke.  Some people were offended, some people thought it was a good trick.  It looks like people kind of roll with the punches when it comes to Facebook, but the Church has to toe the line.

It is through Barack's maternal grandfather to Pennsylvania. It is well within her rights and obligations to do Temple Work for Barack's parents and grandparents if she have permission from the immediate family since it is less than 95 years.
