\"The<\/a><\/p>\n

Up until the 20th century, a man\u2019s roots — his ancestry — formed an important part of his identity. Noble families in ancient Rome displayed wax masks of their ancestors in their homes as reminders of their legacy. In ancient Japan, ancestor worship was common, and families fiercely guarded the scrolls that contained their genealogy. The goal in life was to live in a way that would bring honor to the family.<\/p>\n

In the 19th century, it was typical for homes in Europe and the U.S. to prominently display a family Bible that had been passed down through the generations with the birth and\/or death dates of ancestors inscribed in the front. Parents and grandparents told children and grandchildren stories about the brave deeds done by their forebearers and the dignified lives previous generations had lived, admonishing them never to act in a way that would sully their lineage.<\/p>\n

In the hyper-individualistic and present-focused culture of the 21st century, interest in one\u2019s heritage and family ties has waned — to our ultimate detriment.<\/p>\n

I know that I always thought of genealogy as a fairly dull, and rather intimidating subject. So many names and dates and records.<\/p>\n

But recently, I decided to start researching my family history, and have discovered that genealogy is far more fascinating than I thought. In fact, it\u2019s downright addicting. You end up just wanting to keep searching for and filling in more and more details about your family tree. Genealogical dead ends turn into white whale obsessions you feel driven to conquer. And all along, the bits of history you gather feel nourishing to the soul.<\/p>\n

If you\u2019ve never thought about tracing your roots, today I\u2019ll talk about why you should consider beginning the journey of learning more about the blood that runs through your veins and has helped make you the man you are today.<\/p>\n

Then, next week, I\u2019ll also offer a comprehensive guide to the basics of getting started with doing your genealogy.<\/p>\n

Memory Is Moral: Why Every Man Should Do His Genealogy<\/u><\/h3>\n

You might consider getting started with doing your genealogy for the same simple reason you\u2019d research any historical topic: it\u2019s just plain intrinsically interesting to learn about the past.<\/p>\n

Yet to me the most compelling reason to do your genealogy is something very different: the fulfillment of an ethical obligation to your ancestors.<\/p>\n

You may never have thought about it that way, but memory is moral.<\/em><\/p>\n

Here\u2019s why.<\/p>\n

Gratitude Has No Expiration Date<\/h3>\n

If someone sent you a gift, and it took a couple days to reach you, would you thank them for it? You\u2019d probably say, \u201cOf course.\u201d What if it took a week? A month? What if something went terribly wrong with the shipping service and the gift didn\u2019t arrive for a year? Would you still express your appreciation to the sender? Even in these cases, your answer is still likely an unequivocal \u201cYes.\u201d<\/p>\n

Let\u2019s expand the timetable out further. What if something went really, really<\/em> wrong with the delivery of the gift and it took a decade. Maybe even half a century. Even if the sender was dead and gone, you\u2019d probably still feel gratitude for the package that had taken a circuitous journey to arrive at your doorstep.<\/p>\n

Gratitude doesn\u2019t come with an expiration date. A gift remains meaningful, regardless of when it was set in motion<\/p>\n

Along the chain of your family line, there are folks who faced hardship, suffered, and found the strength to continue on. Even if they weren\u2019t perfect people, they did do one thing well: they stayed alive — long enough to pass on their genes, long enough to impart the blood that now runs through your veins. They gave you the gift of life, and shaped you into who you are today.<\/p>\n

More Than a Family Tree: The Story of You<\/h3>\n

In our modern era, the idea that we\u2019re self-created individuals pervades our culture.<\/p>\n

However, this atomized conception of identity couldn\u2019t be further from the truth.<\/p>\n

A large part of who you are today comes directly from your line of ancestors.<\/p>\n

For starters, much of both your looks and your temperament were bequeathed to you by virtue of genetic inheritance. That cleft in your chin, and your penchant for melancholy, have been passed down from generation to generation.<\/p>\n

But besides genetics, you\u2019ve also inherited the choices your forebearers made. Once you start doing your genealogy, you quickly see how if one ancestor hadn’t decided to marry a particular person or move to a certain place, you wouldn\u2019t exist. If it weren\u2019t for my great-grandfather thinking he could fare better as a miner in the American Southwest than in Nova Scotia, my grandfather wouldn’t have grown up in New Mexico. Consequently, he would never have met my grandma there, a woman whose family had been in the state since the Spanish conquests. As a result, my dad never would have been born, and I wouldn\u2019t have either. Plus, had my Nova Scotian grandfather never married that feisty descendant of Spanish explorers and indigenous Americans, I would never have gotten my lush, Pancho Villa-esque mustache. And where would the Art of Manliness be without it?<\/p>\n

Understanding details like those in your family history gives you a deeper, fuller appreciation of where you came from and who you are. It makes you think more about the choices you\u2019re making now and how they might affect your posterity.<\/p>\n

In getting to know your genealogy, you come to see yourself as part of a much bigger story — one that didn\u2019t start with you, and won\u2019t end with you either. One in which you\u2019re playing a role in shaping the future narrative. It\u2019s not surprising then, that research<\/a> suggests that when we have intimate knowledge of our family history, we feel more grounded and self-confident compared to individuals who don\u2019t.<\/p>\n

You simply can\u2019t understand the visible reality right in front of you, without understanding the hidden roots that must be dug for.<\/p>\n

A failure to acknowledge those nourishing roots — a belief that you entered the world fully formed like Athena springing from Zeus\u2019 head — thus constitutes a form of denial and ingratitude.<\/p>\n

Forgetfulness is immoral<\/em>.<\/p>\n

How then do you avoid the immorality of forgetfulness? How do you acknowledge and thank someone for a gift when they\u2019ve gone the way of all the earth?<\/p>\n

You remember them. And in so doing, you prevent their second death.<\/p>\n

Preventing the Second Death, or How Memory Is Redemptive<\/h3>\n

Every person dies twice.<\/p>\n

The first death comes when their body physically expires.<\/p>\n

The second occurs when their name is spoken for the last time.<\/p>\n

For most people, their second death arrives when the last person they knew during their lifetime also passes from the earth. No one remains who knew them in the flesh, and their memory is buried along with their bones.<\/p>\n

For those people whose posterity does their genealogy, however, their memory never dies. Their name is read and known by he who first compiles a family tree, and by all the individuals who come after and keep sacred the record.<\/p>\n

Viewed in this light, genealogy is an act of redemption<\/em>. Through our family history research, we can save our ancestors — even the lowliest and most apt to be forgotten — from the second death.<\/p>\n

Memory is moral.<\/em><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
