Well...for one thing its never mentioned that they preformed any temple work.
If you mean...someone did it by proxy....#1 I doubt many desentents of Abraham are Mormon, #2 there is no way you could trace your ansestory back that far.

JoshuaK....#1 There are a whole lot of Abraham's descendants who are Mormon....My descendants came from the tribe of Ephriam. I know it's hard to understand...Temple work was different before Christ came...it was for a different purpose, but after Christ came, Moasic law was abolished and not needed, however the new Temple orinances were needed so that those who never heard of or will hear of Jesus Christ can have the opportunity to accept those truths while in the Spirit world and be Baptised by Proxy and recieve the other ordinances by proxy. This includes everyone who lived before Christ, yes even acient Prophets. This is the love that God has for each and every one of us...to give everyone the chance.
#2 No in this world it is impossible to trace ancestory back further than the 16th century without any accuracy. However, during the millineum all will be revealed and all Temple work will be done.
PS: I traced my paternal ancestry back to 846....whether it's accurate I don't know...the church does not allow any temple work to be performed for anyone before the 16th century because it's not accurate.
I hope that helps your understanding of Temple work

I do NOT want to get off topic, but how did you upload a new picture?
I can only use the gallery (not that my picture isn't cute).

I confused myself...
