Major increase in LDS Church Articles about Family History

Both the Ensign magazine of The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints and the LDS Church News have run an increased number of features and articles about family history. In addition to reporting about the recent RootsTech 2015 Conference, there have been an unprecedented number of articles about other family history subjects. Here are some links to recent family history themed articles:

• RootsTech conference: 'Blessings to the living through family history'
• RootsTech conference: 'Our Father's plan is about families'
• RootsTech: 'Gathering, healing and sealing families'
• Donny Osmond and A.J. Jacobs speak at 2015 RootsTech conference
• RootsTech 2015: Innovator Showdown winners announced
• Family history is a joy of discovery, FamilySearch CEO says at RootsTech
• FamilySearch opens Discovery Center in Salt Lake City
• Family Tree Visitors' Center welcomes worldwide visitors
• RootsTech Family Discovery Day to be streamed live
• FamilySearch launches new app gallery

In the February, 2015 Ensign, you should review the following articles:

• Loving Those Who Have Gone Before Us
• "My Days" of Temples and Technology
• One New Temple, Three New Opportunities
• How Family History Changes Our Hearts and Minds
• Turning Hearts: From Family History to the Temple

It would seem to me that there is an important message here just in the number of article on family history. Maybe we all need to do more in discovering our family history and finding our ancestors who need Temple ordinances. Is the message getting through?
