Conversely, there are some members who engage in temple work but fail to do the family history research on their own family lines. Although they perform a divine service in assisting others, they lose a blessing by not seeking their own kindred dead as divinely directed by latter-day prophets.
I have learned that those who engage in family history research and then perform the temple ordinance work for those names whom they have found will know the additional joy of receiving both halves of the blessing.
