Yes it does...read 1 Timothy 1.3-4 and also Titus 3.9

They used to do it back in the day to prove you were a true Israelite, since that is a birthright as opposed to a religion. To do it like the LDS Church does though, that seems to go against the Scriptures.

Another Answer:

No, it simply does not say this to the people and it was a custom as mentioned already of the people, including two genealogies of Jesus. Like anything we do, we cannot put something ahead of God though - no obsessions in other words and genealogy can easily become an obsession - take it from personal experience.

Paul was instructing Timothy and Titus not to get caught up in non-ministerial teachings of the Word. He instructs Timothy how to guard against the 'judaizing' teachers, or others who mix and mingle fables and endless genealogies with the gospel. Paul shows the use of the law and the glory of the gospel as the sole purpose of their ministry.
