“Remember, we without our roots and branches cannot be saved.”

“Families could hold a “Family Tree Gathering.” This should be a recurring effort. Everyone would bring existing family histories, stories, and photos, including cherished possessions of grandparents and parents. Our young people are excited to learn about the lives of family members—where they came from and how they lived. Many have had their hearts turned to the fathers. They love the stories and photos, and they have the technological expertise to scan and upload these stories and photos to Family Tree and connect source documents with ancestors to preserve these for all time. “

Roots and Branches

By Elder Quentin L. Cook

I love this General Conference Talk by Elder Cook. It helps us remember that our youth and children can learn about their ancestors. The stories can help them identify with the struggles and trials of those that helped make us who we are.
