Your support and comments are most welcome and appreciated. Funnily enough, I have never received any comments that make any sense from the LDS either. Frankly, I tend to doubt that the majority of their senior people are even genuine genealogists or family historians. I suspect our friends in the LDS Church in America and their supporters have a problem in understanding the complaints about the way in which they process UK data. They are not, in my view, genealogists at all unless they would care to persuade us otherwise. -- Roy Stockdill Genealogical researcher, writer & lecturer Newbies' Guide to Genealogy & Family History: www.genuki.org.uk/gs/Newbie.html "There is only one thing in the world worse than being talked about, and that is not being talked about."
