“That Our Genealogy May Be Kept”

Joseph F. McConkie, Robert L. Millet
Adam kept a written account of his faithful descendants in which he recorded their faith and works, their righteousness and devotion, their revelations and visions, and their adherence to the revealed plan of salvation. To signify the importance of honoring our worthy ancestors and of hearkening to the great truths revealed to them, Adam called his record a book of remembrance. It was prepared ’according to the pattern given by the finger of God’ (Moses 6:4-6, 46.)
