Two of our previous Presidents of the Church had sons serve as Presidents of the Quorum of the Twelve. Can you name these fathers and their sons?

Answer: The two Presidents of the Church that had sons serve as Presidents of the Quorum of the Twelve are Brigham Young and Joseph F. Smith. The sons who served in that capacity were Brigham Young, Jr. (1901 to 1903) and Joseph Fielding Smith (1951 to 1970). Brigham Young and Brigham Young, Jr. constitute the only father-son combination in which both the father and the son served as President of the Quorum of the Twelve.
