Family history is a selfless work. It requires time and love for the people you find. You cannot be selfish and expect to receive the same blessings and inspiration as someone who completely loses themselves in the work. I am by no means selfless yet, but I hope this class and the time I will spend working with my ancestors names and learning their stories will help me on that road.
You have to do the work for them, the ancestors that have died and are no longer able to complete their ordinances themselves. I am not yet endowed, so I cannot do much for them, but I can be baptized and confirmed for them and start the ball rolling.
