Reason #20 - Family History and Ordinance Work

Genealogy is important in this church because we believe that we can be with our families forever, so we search our past and while so doing, we find treasures of knowledge, even hidden treasures within our own past. I've learned that as I do this research it has helped me understand my family history and how I came to be where I am right now. It has also helped me understand things about me that I may not have understood otherwise. I learned that I have musical talent for a reason because there are many other singers and musicians in my family, on both sides. After doing this research we take the names to the temple where we can seal husbands to wives and children to parents, not just for this life, but for all time and eternity.
