SoM Bonus Episode: What's Real and What's Rumor in Your Family History

LDS Living Podcasts

Throughout your study of the Doctrine and Covenants this year, you may have noticed the Lord often commands the Saints to keep a record. We know that studying records from the past is important, but we also know that details have a tendency to sometimes get a little muddled through time and retelling. For example, how can you know if that story that's been passed down for generations about your great-great-grandfather or long-lost cousin is true?

In this bonus episode of Sunday on Monday, Keith Erekson, Church History Library Director and author of Real vs. Rumor, shares how to determine if family history stories are real or just rumor, and why it matters that we keep an accurate record for future generations.
