Family is very vital before the Lord. Thus every family should be united and be one in working their salvation especially in these latter days. We believe that families could be together forever.
The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints or popularly known as the Mormons or in this modern times are called Latter-day Saints (LDS) are searching for their dead ancestors. In line with one of its 3-fold missions, which is to redeem the dead by performing a vicarious works in the temple.

In so doing, this is to follow what the Bible says in the Book of Malachi, "turn the heart of the fathers to the children, and the heart of the children to their fathers"
Elder Bon Reyes and his wife, the couple missionaries assigned in the family history recently conducted a seminar on family history search with the priesthood leaders and family consultants of the branches or units under the La Carlota Philippines Districts. This is in line with the 2012 Philippines area goals such strengthening the family, establishing the church, savings the rising generation, and rescuing the one.
The seminar tackled the process of registering to the new family search website of the Church, submitting names for temple ordinances, among others.
This blogger, Gil Camporazo, is the high councilor of the District assigned to handle this family search. He will coordinate with the respective counselors of every branch, conduct lecture and seminar with every family consultants, campaign for the submission of names of every dead forebears of every member of the Church for baptism in the temple.
Again, in doing this kind of work, those dead will have the great chance to be saved as vicariously worked on by their living family members of The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints.
