Does the Church of Jesus Christ of latter day saints not teach and remind us how important it is? if so don't ya think that we should support and help each other on this especially when there is somebody that is willing to do the research and pictures and gather information? So anybody I ask if there is somebody that is willing to help me JUST A LITTLE BIT !! PICTURES that I have been asking for ... take 5 min. and do your part to help.
"Genealogies, family stories, historical accounts, and traditions … form a bridge between past and future and bind generations together in ways that no other keepsake can."
Family history research provides the emotional bridge between the generations. Temple ordinances provide the priesthood bridge. Temple ordinances are the priesthood ratification of the connection that we have already established in our hearts. Mother Teresa said that “loneliness and the feeling of being unwanted is the most terrible poverty.” 7 The thought that this poverty of loneliness—this being unwanted and separated from loved ones—could extend beyond this life is truly sad. The promise of family history and temple work is eternal connection born of both love and priesthood ordinances.
Brethren and sisters, family history and temple work are the eternal family keepsakes that build bridges. They build bridges between the generations of our families, bridges to activity in the Church, and bridges to the temple. It is my desire that each of us will recognize the great keepsakes we have received from those who preceded us and our own personal responsibility to pass them on to future generations. -Dennis B.

If there is anything I can do to help you, please ask! I'll do my best to get it as quickly as possible! I am really excited to see your book and the work you have put into it! I also have been told that geneology is important in my patriarchal blessing. Right now I'm working on Ryan's family (he's the ONLY member of the church in his family)!!!
