    1. research debacle!!!
    2. I was not going to add my two cents here, but this just continues on and on! I have been involved in Genealogy for 35 years, and to me proof is when you have a piece of paper in your hand that proves your claim. Nothing Less Will Do. I recently became very upset over finding that an ancestor of mine, JOHN CARPENTER OF UPSON, CO., GA, had been entered in the LDS library. I pass my work out to anyone that wants it. So that was really no problem. I worked for years and years to research and document this man. Documentation that would stand anywhere.... THE PROBLEM WAS THAT THEY ATTACHED A JOHN M. CARPENTER TO HIM AS HIS FATHER, WHICH IN TURNED HOOKED HIM IN TO A WHOLE ANCESTRAL LINE. A LINE THAT HE DOES NOT BELONG TO. ONE THAT IS NOT IN THE LEAST BELIEVABLE. I am not even sure I can ever undo the damage that was done by this.
