No. Members of the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints (the "Mormon" church) do not believe that anyone (Mormon or non-Mormon) inherits the sin of their ancestors. In some cases, people have inherited the consequences of an ancestor's sin, but they are not guilty or accused of the sin committed by their ancestors.

One of the 13 Articles of Faith of the Mormon Church says:

"We believe that men will be punished for their own sins, and not for Adam's [or any other ancestor's] transgression."

How do Mormons use Genealogy?

Mormons, members of the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints (the "Mormon" church) believe that they can perform religious sacraments on behalf of their deceased ancestors and give them the opportunity to accept Jesus Christ in the afterlife. This is viewed as a selfless act of service, and many Mormons find fulfillment in knowing that they are able to give their ancestors the Gospel of Jesus Christ in return for all that their ancestors have done for them. However, this requires that they know who their ancestors were. To do that, they must use genealogy. All the genealogical information that the Mormon Church receives is made available to the public through its genealogy service, FamilySearch.org, and it's local FamilySearch Libraries. Please see the "Related Links" below to learn more about why Mormons do genealogy work.
