When LDS BECAME AVAILABLE JUST FOR FUN i CHECKED THEIR RECORDS OF MY OWN FAMILY. i FOUND NUMEROUS ERRORS. I notified LDS and gave them the accurate records. There have never been any acknowledgments from them or any corrections made. I now have many contacts all around the world and am continuing to correct errors. NEVER TAKE EVERYTHING YOU FIND ON THE NET AS ACCURATE. aLWAYS CHECK WITH ORIGINAL RECORDS.

I have found a lot of valuable info on the site, but always check with the originals. It is a useful tool for pointing you in the right direction. The Ancestral files are particularly notorious - I found some records once that had a man's marriage date several years before his birth! nell
