This week I started getting more work done for my family history class. I decided to take a family history class this semester because my dad has always been into it and I'd like to start working with him. Now that I am married, I also need to do more work connecting the family trees and researching more. The program I am using for the class is "Roots Magic". It is nice because it interfaces with Family Search, the Church's family history and genealogical records website. My dad has already done a lot of research so I have a lot to work with!
I think the most rewarding part about doing genealogy is when I get to go do temple work for my ancestors. This week, Raul and I did 21 baptisms and confirmations for my ancestors. Next week we're going to start doing the next ordinances for them. This work is helping me feel closer to my family in many ways. I hope I continue to be diligent about it after this semester.
