Why is the LDS church so fascinated by genealogy?
Members of the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints (the "Mormon" church) are interested in Family History and Genealogy because they believe it is their responsibility to introduce all people to salvation through Jesus Christ. Mormons believe that by seeking out their ancestors, they can perform vicarious baptisms on their behalf. When a Mormon performs a baptism in behalf of one of their ancestors, it is believed that the ancestor will have an opportunity to accept or reject the baptism and the gospel of Jesus Christ before judgement. It is in this way that Mormons can offer the opportunity of salvation to those who have already died. You can learn more about Mormons and their beliefs about genealogy at the "Related Links" below.
