25 Questions to Help You Discover Your Family History

-

Welcome to the 25 Questions Series!

Every person has a story worth telling, and every family has stories worth discovering.

The 25 Questions series was created to make family history feel simple and approachable. Sometimes all it takes is one thoughtful question to unlock a forgotten memory, start a meaningful conversation, or inspire you to record a story that might otherwise be lost.

Some lists are designed to help you discover the lives of your ancestors. Others will help you preserve your own memories and experiences. Whether you're interviewing a grandparent, writing your personal history, or simply reflecting on your childhood, these questions are here to help you capture the stories that make your family unique.

You don't have to answer every question at once. Start with one. You may be surprised where it leads.

25 Questions to Help You Discover Your Family History

Family history is more than names and dates on a family tree. It is the stories, traditions, and experiences that have been passed from one generation to the next. The more questions we ask, the more we discover about the people who came before us and the legacy they left behind.

These 25 questions are designed to help you explore your family's story. Use them as conversation starters with relatives, inspiration for your own research, or prompts to record the stories you uncover. You may not know every answer today, but each question is an invitation to discover another piece of your family's history.

Clothing, Covering, and Linen in the Scriptures #2. Coats of Skin

Genesis 3:21 (Moses 4:27) “Unto Adam and to his wife did the Lord God make coats of skin, and clothed them.” Notice who clothed Adam and Eve in their coats of skin? While Satan left Adam and Eve to make their fig leaves apron by themselves, God personally clothed them. In order to clothe a person in coats of skin ( presumably ) an animal sacrifice would have had to be made. There is tremendous symbolism in this with regards to our Savior, Jesus Christ. He would perform the ultimate sacrifice and inevitably die for our sins. His atonement is the only thing that will be able to truly "cover" our sins/mistakes. Atonement means to cover. "Each of us can be covered through the atonement of the Savior. A covering that provides warmth, comfort, and blots out our sins." ( YouTube video - Aprons of Fig Leaves and Coats of Skins.) The coats of skin is evidence of God's wisdom being superior to man's. ( Wikipedia ) I love the scripture found in Abraham 2:8, "My ...

Clothing, Covering, and Linen in the Scriptures #1. Fig Leaves

" found in Mosiah 10:5. What did women making clothes have to do with prosperity and peace? I did a mini study on this verse and similar verses which I will share later; however, today, I would like to share my thoughts on a couple verses found in Genesis 4. One talks about Adam and Eve covering themselves with fig leaves and the other mentions God covering Adam and Eve with coats of skin. This is what I learned: At the end of each post, there will be a free printable to use for your own study. Fig Leaves Genesis 3:7 (Moses 4:13) - And the eyes of them both were opened, and they knew that they were naked; and they sewed fig leaves together, and made themselves aprons. What did...
