Some Literature about the importance of Ancestors
Such a Family History book was meant to be cherished as a written history of each ss man's clan as this portion of the poem describes...it really gives us insight into the beliefs of the ss....
There in his cradle lies my son, reaching, reaching gleefully toward his ancestors' portraits on the wall.
This tiny, laughing bundle of life is the next step of the future of my race. I was the last step. He is the next.
And behind me I see the path of my race passing back through the distant millennia until it is dimmed by the mist of time - for the generations which came before the earliest on the wall are, also, real. My race's entire path through time i do not know - but, i do know that i live and that i am only a link in the chain in which no link must fail, so long as my people live. Otherwise, I never would have been.
For generations a parchment-bound book has been passed down through our family i open it and inscribe a yellowed page for my son:
"Your life is not of this day and not of tomorrow. It is of the thousand years which came before you and the thousand years to come after you. During the thousand years before you, your blood was purely preserved, so that you would be who you are. Now you must preserve your blood, so that all of the generations of the next thousand years will honor you and thank you."
That is the meaning of life, that divinity, awakens in the blood. But only in pure blood does it live!
Of whom have I spoken? Of my ancestors? They are only a symbol of the Folk of which i am a living part.
To whom have I spoken? To my son? My son is only a part of my Folk. The wisdom of a thousand generations slumbers in you. Waken it and you have found the key which will open the doors of your truest aspirations. Only he who esteems himself is worthy of being a man.
Only he is a man who bears the living past and future in himself, for only he is able to stand above the present hour. And only he who is master of the present is successful; he alone is fulfilled. As only in fulfillment is divinity. Thus sayeth the Voice of our Ancestors...Comment

Sippenbuch v. Chronik
From my reading, I have gleaned that the Sippenbuch or Clanbook is a distinctly different volume than this Familie Chronik. The Sippenbuch is far more rare becasue it was not issued or maintained by individuals but by the SS itself, whereas this Chronik is the book referred to as occupying the ss eck and held by individual ss families.
The Marriage Order of the RF SS states in point number 8 the following:
The Racial SS runs the "Clan Book of the SS," in which the families of SS members will be entered following the granting of marriage license or affirmation of the petition to enter.
This Order helps form the basis of my conclusion. If anyone else would care to discuss it, I would be pleased to learn and listen. Please tell me your thoughts.Comment

SS Family Book
23. The Family Book
Every SS Man has to be strictly reminded here of his duty, of which his sons and daughters will remind him in the future. He has to ask his still living parents and grandparents to write down all their childhood memories immediately and all other relevant memories which should be handed on to future generations. The names and dates on the ancestry plaque will be meaningless to future generations if they are not accompanied by as many stories as possible about the life, the difficulties, the celebrations, and the environment in which they lived. This knowledge of their blood line will protect our future generations against the advances of the newly rich and the social climbers. The grandparents, who often have a very good memory for childhood events, are obliged to record their knowledge and experiences for their great grandchildren. The SS Man should simply walk up to them, put a notebook in front of them, and say: Now write down how it used to be. Their reluctance normally fades fast and the old people will generally enjoy writing. When the grandparents have finished, it is the turn of the parents of the SS Man. He himself should also start to write down everything, but especially his experiences of the War, and the comradeship and the heroism of his fellow SS Men. These stories should be read to the family on Yuletide Eve. In this way the essential family spirit is being preserved and strengthened.
