How do I request a copy of a patriarchal blessing for one of my minor children? I am also his Branch President, would that be an easier,quicker route? Anyone?

I believe the child would have to request their own. I don't see any provision for anyone else - including their bishop to obtain one.

According to the Patriarchal Blessing tool (LDS.org > My Account and Ward > Patriarchal Blessing), members can request a copy of their own blessing, or the blessing of a deceased direct-line ancestor. I don't think blessings can be requested for other family members.

Handbook 2: 20.12.2: "Each patriarchal blessing is sacred, confidential, and personal. Therefore, it is given in private except that a limited number of family members may be present. Church members should not compare blessings and should not share them except with close family members. Patriarchal blessings should not be read in Church meetings or other public gatherings."
So really, there's no provision for ward leaders to see someone's blessing.

Re: patriarchal blessing copy
I merged your new question into the discussion you already started on this same question last month. Please review the responses that have already been posted.cwparrish wrote:How do I request a copy of my minor sons patriarchal blessing? I am also his Branch President, will that help?
Questions that can benefit the larger community should be asked in a public forum, not a private message.

While I appreciate the responses I do not see any answers there other than just speculation. For a minor child it would seem the parents ought to be able to request it and not be required that the child have his own LDS.org account. Any comment on that?

The fact is, the system does not have a provision for doing what you are requesting. It only permits requesting deceased ancestors.
