In the South African Mission we are doing a lot of genealogical research, at the present time so that more men may be ordained to the Priesthood and they in turn will be able to take places of leadership in our various branches. I have six missionaries spending much of their time doing genealogical work both instructing the members in connection with this work and assisting in family research.
