No one I know is more interested in himself than I am. And yet even I don't care about my genealogy. What my great-great-great-grandfather did isn't any more interesting to me than what your own great-great-great-grandfather did, especially since in both cases it was farming. I come from a long line of people who don't care about our long line of people. Whenever I asked my grandparents where their parents came from, they would all launch into the same speech about how western France and eastern Germany endlessly switched borders.
If, then, I ever visit a Mormon church, it'll be to see its large statues of oxen, not to use its genealogical library.
