“The home, family, and temple are inseparably connected. One leads to the other. In no other work are we more home-centered than in temple and family history work.
“Understanding the eternal nature of the temple will draw you to your family. Understanding the eternal nature of the family will draw you to the temple.” (Elder Gary E. Stevenson, Temple and Family History Leadership Instruction, February 2019)
Family history is about finding inspiration in your family’s story, both past and present. It includes discovering and sharing interesting details about your family, homelands, and traditions.
Further, when we engage in family history, we discover more about ourselves and our ancestors. We then connect with them by performing needed gospel ordinances. This discovery and connection is part of the Gathering of Israel.

I add my testimony, as Elder Renlund said a couple of conferences ago, that as we engage in this great work, we will find healing, peace, protection from the adversary, and many more blessings too numerous to name, but which I have blogged about before on this blog.
Discover who you are, and get started today on the Family Tree Mobile App, or the Family Search Website.
