Considering the number of people I talk to who complain about technology, Kathryn Grant's article "
Even with Technology, Family History is "a Spiritual Work" is timely and right on the spot. This article brings to my mind a quote from
2 Nephi 25:23:
23 For we labor diligently to write, to persuade our children, and also our brethren, to believe in Christ, and to be reconciled to God; for we know that it is by grace that we are saved, after all we can do.
This particular scripture is usually applied to missionary work for the living, but I would expand it to apply to the missionary work we call family history or genealogy for that dead. My point is that we must "labor diligently" in whatever endeavor we undertake that involves our own personal salvation or that of others. Read the article and think about your own personal attitude towards technology.

Regarding Common Law Marriages. Is there any direction on sealing a husband and wife when no record of marriage exists or can be found?
ReplyDeleteYes, they can be sealed as long as there is some evidence, such as the birth of a child or a will that shows that they were living together as husband and wife.
