Discover Who Your Ancestors Are

Family History

Through family history work, we can learn more about our ancestors, identify and prepare the names of those who need gospel ordinances and perform ordinance work for them in holy temples.

The Church provides many resources to help us learn about our family history and participate in temple work for the dead. Being a Family History consultant has brought me such joy when I have helped those build their family tree and do the ordinances for their dead.

Prophets in our day have promised that family history work provides “protection from the influence of the adversary” and a “deep and abiding” conversion to the Savior. What a powerful way to gather, heal, and seal our families.

Discovering more about your ancestors, celebrating family traditions, embracing your culture, and understanding where you came from can open your eyes to how beautiful and unique you are. It can also give your sense of self-worth and belonging a boost.
