The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints encourages its adherents to prepare a family record known as a Book of Remembrance. This work contains genealogies, patriarchal blessings, records of ordinations and other sacred information. The scriptural basis for a Book of Remembrance derives from The Doctrine and Covenants of the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints, Sections 85:9 and 128:7-8, 24.
