A FAMILY HISTORY IS IMPORTANT

If we know where the members live, we may keep in touch with them b letter; by visiting them in their homes – for example, while on vacation trips and passing through or near the family’s home town or rural home.

“No man need be ashamed of a proper and wholesome family pride”. “The family is the cornerstone of church and civilization”. The Bible contains many genealogies; it was not for nothing that there is a genealogy of the Son of God. “A man’s valued asset is his name”. “When you know your ancestors, you will be richer than before”.
