<DIV>I agree with Gary that LDS files contain errors. I forget the
man's name, but one of my 1850's ancestors married his mother on the day he was
born... according to LDS files. :-) It's too bad those files are
etched in stone.</DIV>

<DIV><FONT size=2>i'm sorry. it was not my intention to insult or hurt
anyones feelings when i posted.i know that most people are using the files at
some of these websites for a starting point and there is nothing wrong
with that. i have sat at the forum and other libraries and watched
people downloading thousands of names from the family search into their
files. i have asked if they were going to research all those names
themselves and have been told they were just too numerous and the file would
be come part of theirs. there is so much junk out there that it scares
me. everything i did up to about 10 years ago was on paper. every
item and every name was proven. i took classes thru the lds libraries
and they are the ones that said if you don't have at least three sources for
your material, it is not good. i hppen to disagree with that since a lot
of my early work was thru members of the family who are now gone, but i do
list where i got it. if i was a littleabrasive for some, and i can be, i
am sorry, again. the lds records on family search are corrupted beyond
hope. they will never be corrected. i have found a member of my
family that lds records say she had 27 children. my gr. gr. or whatever
had 12 children but the lds records show one child 6 times and some of the
others are the same. each person that submitted info on this family had
something different in their records so it became another child of this
family, even if it had the same name. i was selected many years ago to
be on the beta list for the family research. the lds church sent me
about 100 cd's. each time they upgraded it i got all new cd's.
this is how i know these cd's were NEVER corrected. and again, i am
sorry if i stepped on anyone's toes as this was not my intent. i just
want all the records that people use to be as accurate as
possible.</FONT></DIV>
