Willette, I too have to agree with Marlyn, I use the LDS records a lot, but you have to watch them, there are many, many errors in them, and I have tried to get errors corrected concerning my grandfather of another line, and once it is entered into their records they make changing it very, very difficult. Also spoke with a town historian in upstate N.Y. who said she has, for a fact, just put someone's name in the records and if it then proves to be wrong someone down the line can correct it. This from a town historian who has done extensive work for many years in that area. I fear this could be the policy of many people who do research for others and are not personally involved with (ie: closely related to ) the particular family they are compiling information for. This further shows the necessity to prove all of our work at least as far as possible and not blindly accept some of these records, but just use them as possible guidelines for our research. Good luck. Beth Porter
