Book of Mormon Jarom 1:1
"I, Jarom, write a few words according to the commandment of my father, Enos, that our genealogy may be kept"
Book of Mormon Omni 1:1
"being commanded by my father, Jarom, that I should write somewhat upon these plates, to preserve our genealogy"

Shared words: our genealogy

Two consecutive handoffs state the same purpose in the same frame: commandment of the father + keep/preserve 'our genealogy'. Page also states the plain fact that Nephi excluded genealogy from these plates (1 Nephi 6:1) and notes the text never explains the relation between the two purposes.
