According to the ''Encyclopedia of Mormonism'' (David H. Ludlow, 1992, pages 497-498), "'''In 1978 the [LDS] Church asked all families to organize themselves at three levels: immediate families, grandparent families, and ancestral families.

When the children marry and have children of their own, the '''grandparent organization '''is initiated. Beyond that, each family is ideally involved in an '''ancestral organization''', which consists of all the descendants of an earlier common progenitors couple." Additional information on these three types of family "levels"--or organizations--and their functions and purposes is detailed in the '' Encyclopedia of Mormonism.'' | According to the ''Encyclopedia of Mormonism'' (David H.
