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.

Why do the Mormons say they are God's chosen people?
Actually, this isn't really a belief of the Mormon people. Members of the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints (the "Mormon" church) believe that God loves all people equally. They also believe that each person should be given a chance to hear and accept the Gospel of Jesus Christ, and all people are welcome to become Mormons if they choose to. Mormons are not taught that they are better or more favored than anyone else. Most Mormons would say that they believe they are the people of God, but they do not believe that God 'chose' them over anyone else. Mormons believe that an individual chooses God, and by following Him they become His people.
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.
