Whether or not you are a member of the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints (otherwise known as the Mormon Church or the LDS Church), you might have noticed something interesting… members of the Church seem to be OBSESSED with the dead. They perform baptisms for the dead in the temple (see this episode for more information: https://bit.ly/2FXdaw3), they spend hours upon hours finding their ancestors that lived hundreds of years ago, they believe in being ‘sealed’ to their families for eternity, etc. They really seem to be okay with the idea of death and that they will see their loved ones again. In this episode, we talk about family history work (also called genealogy work). Essentially, this is the work of finding records of those who have past on and determining what temple work (baptism, endowment, sealing, etc) needs to be done for them in a LDS Temple (otherwise called a Mormon Temple). There are multiple resources to help people of all faiths complete their family history work. Two of the resources are FamilySearch.com and Ancestry.com. Check them out!
