<DIV> Here I am "A day late and lots of dollars short" but for what it's worth - - - ? I am LDS (Morman) and a genealogist to boot and as far as "the" records being correct - - - holding breath counting to ten - - - - much of it is not! In my case what is in error is the births/deaths between 1890 and 1950 some instructor at "Rick's" collage submitted my father's line/s and we have cousins as brother/sisters and sons as father's and names misspelled and now it time to go back to bed with a sick headache. The man won't even answer mail written or email since "it's not one of my primary lines!"</DIV>
<DIV> </DIV>
<DIV>HE could submit the corrections and solve the problem but HE isn't interested. This has done a lot to put a damper on my passion for genealogy!</DIV>
<DIV> </DIV>
<DIV>Verdena, I'll bet it was him that messed up your records since we work on the same area of Oregon.</DIV></DIV>

<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>
