Family Connections and Migration in Genealogy

Nicole and Diana discuss the life of Phinehas Richards, Nicole's husband's 4th-great-grandfather. Nicole shares details about Phinehas's life, including his birth in Massachusetts, his marriage to Wealthy Dewey, and his work as a cabinet maker. She recounts Phinehas's conversion to The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints, his baptism by Brigham Young, and his ordination as a high priest. Diana talks about Phinehas receiving a patriarchal blessing from Joseph Smith Senior in Kirtland, Ohio. They then shift focus to Joseph Smith Senior, the father of the prophet Joseph Smith. Diana shares information about his life, his calling as a patriarch, and a revelation he received that is now Doctrine and Covenants section 4. Nicole explains how listeners can find the patriarchal blessings of their ancestors on The Church's website and shares her personal experience with requesting and transcribing her ancestors' blessings.

Listeners will learn about the lives of Phinehas Richards and Joseph Smith Senior, their connections to early church history, and how to access patriarchal blessings online. They will also hear about the sponsor of the episode, Newspapers.com, and how it can be used for genealogical research.
