I personally think there should be some sort of written evidence of someone’s family history. Just as doctors collect information on someone’s medical history (including that of their family members), I think a similar thing could be done for political/religious affiliations and history. For example, at my late grandfather’s funeral, a booklet was given out to all the attendees containing his biography, which clearly stated that he joined the Chinese anti-communist, nationalist army as a young man and retreated to Taiwan with them. The latter part of it detailed his conversion to Christianity and his faithful service to the church in his later years, and then the last pages of the booklet contained the lyrics of his favorite hymns. I think if there was written evidence that someone had a family background like that, they would be nearly guaranteed not to be communists themselves.
