Genealogical research is required as part of salvation for the dead.
Before vicarious ordinances of salvation exaltation may be performed for those who have died without a knowledge of the gospel, but who presumable would have received it had the opportunity come to them, they must be accurately and properly identified. Hence, genealogical research is required."
(Mormon Doctrine, Bruce R. McConkie, Pg. 308)
