<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>
