As members of the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-Day Saints, we spend time researching our Family History or Geneology. Many people wonder why we have such a deep interest in those who have come before us.  We believe that families can be eternal; that they last much longer than just “until death do we part” and as we strive to live the way the Lord asks of us, we will be able to live with our families forever.  Read the comments and testimonies below to find out more about why we care so much about our ancestry.
