Most people think that it’s for old people and mostly involves looking up old records.
If you don’t know your immediate family, you haven’t done family history. If your records are complete and don’t look like they’ll go anywhere soon, maybe the best family History you can do is asking about your living relatives and their immediate connection s. A good family History is also just knowing the difference between each great-grandparent, their stories, and their legacies. Certainly, when we know these people they will play a larger part in influencing, guiding, and supporting our lives as spirit angels.
We’ve learned so much about the huge role family history plays in missionary work recently. “The field is white, already to harvest.” Are you going about working without reaping off the work of your predecessors, and their planting? I bet the field is much whiter in the Spirit world than it is on Earth right now, but we often ignore it.
D&C 43:16 is a PMG quote directly linked to Family History.
You can never run out of questions to ask about the family. It’s the greatest social unit of Time.
