<DIV><FONT size=2>i have just one more thing to say and then i am off
here. for years and years the LDS church has been saying that anyones
records can be corrected. this is wonderful but do you know of anyone that
has ACTUALLY changed anything that is on the record with the LDS church.
neither do i. i am not bashing the mormon's and i hope this doesn't come
across like that. the amt. of info that i have received from the LDS
church is astounding. these are some great people who let this problem get
away from them right from the get-go. it is way too late to change
anything. IN MY OPINION, and thats all it is, they need to scrap
everything they have and start over. i am admittedly not smart enough to
figure out how we could only have correct data coming in but they do need to
raise the bar on this one and i am sure someone far smarter than myself has some
opinions. i appreciate the opportunity to vent as this is a real problem
that needs someones attention. </FONT></DIV>

<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>
