Our primary goal is to inspire members of the Stake to catch the Spirit of Elijah by participation. We want you to develop a deeper love for your ancestors by continuing your direct line research beyond four generations. Most importantly, we want you to qualify yourself to go to the temple to receive the ordinances for yourself and then to receive them for those whose names you have sought out in your research.

the together app
the together app
Together by FamilySearch is an interactive app (available on web and as a mobile app) that lets users capture, share, and explore family memories and stories with family members, making genealogy more personal and engaging rather than just being about names and dates.
It’s designed from the ground up to strengthen family connections by providing tools that appeal to all ages and encourage active participation in family history.
You can find and use Together by selecting the Activities menu in FamilySearch. Within each topic you will be guided through a series of questions. Your job is to answer the prompts. Once you have answered them all you will have an online document that you can share with your family. You can also add photos to enhance your text.
"My aunt did all my genealogy"
"My aunt did all my genealogy"
Many members of the Church remember, or have heard about, the 4 Generation Program for family history. Some mistakenly think that if their aunt has submitted their 4 generation pedigree chart that their responsibility for family history is done. The 4 Generation Program ended in 1978 almost 50 years ago. So what is our current responsibility?
According to the current Church Handbook "Church members are encouraged to identify their deceased relatives who have not received temple ordinances. Members then perform the ordinances on behalf of those relatives."
If we assume that there are an average of 4 children in each family in your family tree out to 4 generations you would have 30 direct ancestors, but over a thousand relatives. And because there is no longer a limit of four generations your relatives could soon exceed hundreds of thousands of people. There is always more family history work to be done.
President Woodruff instructed the Saints: “We want the Latter-day Saints from this time to trace their genealogies as far as they can, and to be sealed to their fathers and mothers. Have children sealed to their parents, and run this chain through as far as you can get it. . . . This is the will of the Lord to his people, and I think when you come to reflect upon it you will find it to be true.”
