Subject: [ROOTS-L] Correcting LDS FilesV00 #724

Anyone can submit Family Histories to the LDS Files. If you have a relative
that has submitted incorrect information you can submit your own work. It
will not be considered for the LDS religious rites if you are not LDS.

Someone thought our Norvell Grandparents were on a different line so we
corrected that connection. We were disappointed that the submitter wasn't
our relative but it didn't hurt anything. One submitter did not know our
G-Grandmother Norwood was the oldest child in her family so she was omitted.
This line was done so long ago I can not find any living relatives on our
Norwood Side.

On the ROOTS Pedigree List one woman listed GG Great Grandmother Nidever as a
Lewis. We can't get her to change that either. The woman decided that since
G G Grandmother is buried between her daughters Gilbert Family and her
Granddaughters Lewis Family she must be a Lewis. After Months of E-Mail I
gave up on that woman. I showed Marriage and Death Certificates and a
written Family History , and a phone number of a cousin who lived with her.
Showing our Family Names our Family Lines joined briefly for a late in life
Marriage. The woman wanted a Birth Certificate, but 19th Century Arkansas
is harder to document than the 20 th Century. So all we can do is try and
correct and submitt our own Lines.
