Linda..why is this on the Listserv???? I hope it doesn't start a whole discussion about the Mormons. No it does not mean that they take pedigrees - my response said that church members submit their ancestors.

Lucie and list, This has been a very controversial issue with the Jews, the Vatican and major Protestant groups. The Vatican has ruled that Mormon converts must be re-baptized as it doesn't accept the Mormon Church baptisms as valid Christian baptisms. A search for "Mormon Baptisms" on Google or other search engines will bring up many articles on the issue.
