Brian Lamb: Well, if you go back -- and I found the name Pratt in your background who was some circuitous route related to Joseph Smith who was one of the founders of Mormonism.
Governor Mitt Romney**: Yes. A fellow name Parley P. Pratt was one of my, I think, great-great-great grandfathers, maybe I haven’t got enough greats there, or too many. But he was my direct relative.
And as a matter of fact, my grandmother was a Pratt. And he was the scout that went out ahead of the wagon trains that helped get the Mormon pioneers west. And he was a surveyor as well. There are a number of places in Utah that have his name on them because he surveyed a great portion of the state.
