This is really truly cool.
The Church has established a website that enables members to not only request copies of their own patriarchal blessings, but also copies of their direct-line ancestors who are deceased.
So, I can now keep in my files the patriarchal blessing of my great-great-grandfather Oluf Christian Larsen who was the first Norwegian national to serve a mission in his Anonymoushttp://www.blogger.com/profile/10966241468533764102noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4112711020239048920.post-53977880624565191392010-09-20T15:33:00.000-05:002010-09-20T15:33:41.277-05:00Blog of the Week: Single Dad LaughingSingle Dad Laughing is written by a 30-year-old man who is struggling with the consequences of the second of two divorces.
