Eternal links that bind

"Elder Melvin J. Ballard testified that "the spirit and influence of your dead will guide those who are interested in finding those records. If there is anywhere on the earth anything concerning them, you will find it." (Bryant S. Hinckley, Sermons and Missionary Services of Melvin Joesph Ballard). and Elder Widtsoe said, "I have the feeling...that those who give themselves with all their might and main to this work receive help from the other side, and not merely in gathering genealogies. Whoever seeks to help those on the other side receives help in return in all the affairs of life." ("Genealogical Activites" p. 104). Quoted by Elder A. Theodore Tuttle, Eternal Links That Bind, Ensign, May 1980
