Blaine:  Nice try!  (:>)   But, it is rarer than you would think.  Consider that when the Mormon migration to Utah was slowing down in the late 1800's, there must have been around 40,000+  people who had "gathered" to Utah.   That would have to be a huge gene pool.    In practice, I seldom meet anyone who is actually a descendant of Brigham Young.
