You never know what you may find when researching your family history ...
Sister Tami Nielson gave a beautiful lesson on
We talked about:
the sealing power
the importance of finding our ancestors and performing their work
how to find our ancestors
the blessings of participating in family history and temple work
"All temple ordinances are performed by the power of the priesthood. Through this power, ordinances performed on earth are sealed, or bound, in heaven. The Savior taught his apostles, 'Whatsoever thou shalt bound on earth shall be bound in heaven.' (Matthew 16:19)" -Gospel Principles Manual
Some ideas shared for those starting out:
Complete a 4-generation chart
Collect items you may have at home such as birth certificates, journals, etc.
Talk to Sister Markham or Brother Davis
Try out the Family Search website
What if "all your genealogy has been done?"
Make sure the information on the Family Search website is correct
Start collecting personal histories and photos for your posterity
Help someone else with their family history
Continue to serve in the temple
Work on extended family lines (siblings, other spouses, etc)
