Celia:

I was a volunteer for a short time doing this entry for the LDS
church. The church wants to put this information out to the world so
that people will have a source that may help them to connect to their
ancestors.

The information on the LDS site has been submitted by volunteers that
have entered in this information, on their own time!

This has been a huge effort by all of them. They had thousands upon
thousands of Family Group Records to enter. I think they should be
thanked.

The fact that they did not put their name on the record for who
submitted it, might be because it was not their family. Or if the
information come off a family spread sheet possibly the person who did
it did not put their name on it. I just don’t know.

But I think we need to look at it as a SOURCE for giving us leads.
And a very important fact: IT IS FREE there are no costs involved.

Please note the information that is POSTED on the bottom of their
internet site when you’re doing searches.

About Ancestral File:

Ancestral File is a collection of genealogical information taken from
Pedigree Charts and Family Group Records submitted to the Family
History Department since 1978. The information has not been verified
against any official records. Since the information in Ancestral File
is contributed, it is the responsibility of those who use the file to
verify its accuracy.

I hope I have not offended anyone, and if I did I am sorry, but I
think this needed to be said.

Kind Regards, Karma
