This is worth rebuilding.
lets re-establish the family connections, for the North American hierarchy. I can't do much but if you'd only put in your regional knowledge. Lets say roughly Bishop and up, recent retirees OK. now I can't even find a list of current/recent Apostles so this is going to be a group effort.

if you have additional info, add a post. Some info is limited, and certain offices and status may be out of date. So I need your help
