What does it mean when no tribe is mentioned in my patriarchal blessing?

Dear Gramps,

In my Patriarchal Blessing there was not a tribe mentioned. Do you know what this means? Thanks

Dear Lorraine,

It has no significance. Normally, one’s tribe is mentioned in a patriarchah blessing. It would not be out of place for you do visit your patriarch, and ask him if it would be appropriate for him to declare your lineage as an addendum to the blessings.
