   I have now seen a program quoted and some additional photos.   
   One of the video inserts in the streamed broadcast was of   
   children singing (at some points forming a little parade on   
   a rural road and at others standing in a field) "I Am What   
   I Believe",and this was listed in the program as "President   
   Nelson's Posterity" so presumably they were all also among   
   his 167 great-grandchildren,and the on-site chorus conductor   
   was also credited in the program,"Emma Webster,great-granddaughter"   
   (she appeared adult or close to it),so though the 57 grandchildren   
   appear not to have been represented,both Webster and the speaker   
   (Ashlyn Owen) represented the great-grandchildren on stage.
