“Wherefore, my dear children, I pray, beseech, and adjure you by all the relations and dearness that hath ever been betwixt us and by the heartrending pangs of dying father whose soul hath been ever bound in the bundle of life with yours, that you know one another. Visit as you may each one another if possible, once every year or if you cannot meet, send to and hear from each other yearly and oftener if you can; and when you have neither father nor mother left be so many fathers and mothers to each other, so you shall understand the blessings mentioned in the 133 Psalm.”
– Asael Smith, father of Joseph Smith, Sr.
In following the admonition of our ancestor, the Joseph Smith Sr. and Lucy Mack Smith Family Organization has been established to foster these familial relationships, to search out family members wherever they may be, and invite them to gather with us so that we will have the opportunity to visit.
We invite all family members to subscribe to the family newsletter and we will keep you informed regarding upcoming events and reunions as well as historical information about the activities of the family.
