Why Genealogy?

Family history is discovering and learning more about our family members and gathering and preserving information about them. It is also performing saving ordinances for them in temples of The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints. By engaging in family history and temple work, we bring blessings not only to ourselves, but also to those who came before us.

Where Can I Get Assistance?

A family history consultant in your ward or branch can assist you with any questions you may have. To locate a local family history consultant, look on the LDS Tools app or speak to a member of your bishopric or branch presidency.

Each ward and branch, from time to time, offers family history-related instruction. If a class is not currently offered in your ward or branch, a member of your bishopric or branch presidency may be able to help you understand when one will be offered next.

Temple Schedules

We are blessed in our stake to have temples in Fukuoka, Sapporo, and Tokyo. Please refer to the Temples information page for more details about the temple schedules, as well as operating hours for the distribution center and family history center in the Tokyo Temple Annex Building.
