Take a night off from the television sports and the sitcom reruns. Buy
a simple family tree chart at the drug store and start to work on
filling in the blanks. The first two or three tiers, the most recent
generations, are usually pretty easy because they are filled with
people you have known all of your life.
Chances are that your partner has never met many of your relatives and
vice versa. Take time to describe your family characters to each
other. Every family has their oddballs and their black sheep. Enjoy
their exploits, knowing that each of us is, at least partially, formed
by our own personal histories.
As you move back in time to generations you never knew, it can be fun
to figure out how to get accurate information. Is there a grandmother
or a great aunt somewhere who can help you fill in the holes in your
chart? Plan a visit or a telephone call. They will be delighted to
forage into their past, often more vividly remembered than the dull
years of their aging lives.
When you have exhausted your living resources, look outside the
family. There are Internet sites on genealogy, search agencies, public
record repositories and, of course, the extensive resources of the
Mormon Church.
Each discovery you make expands you as a person and, when it is a
joint task, it also expands and depends the mutual understanding at
the heart of your relationship.
