My mum's side are converts. My dad's side has pioneers that came across with Joseph Smith. I don't know how many are familiar with the story of Mary Elizabeth and Caroline Rollins, the girls who took the manuscript that later become the Book of Commandments and laid on it in the corn fields while the angry mob searched for them? Well my maiden name is Rollins. I believe they are my great, great, great aunts... though I could be missing (or have added in an extra) great.
Two convert parents for me as well. I actually joined the church 2nd in my family, (after my brother did and served a mission), then my mom, then my sister and then my dad- all in a span of 5 years.

Two convert parents! My mom is especially a pioneer as her parents told her they would rather "see her dead than become a Mormon."
