Hello, Would anyone, preferably an LDS churcmember, like to tell me about LDS beliefs regarding ancestors; especially whether the purpose of the research has to do with being baptized in proxy of them, or what "sealing" is? Thank you, Mark Cook cookm@psph.providence.org P.S. I also would like feedback on whether I should have changed the subject to "chat". This e-mail truly was in response to the LDS Web Site message. ______________________________ Reply Separator _________________________________ Subject: [COOK-L] LDS genealogy web site-Official Word Author: COOK-L@rootsweb.com at INTERNET Date: 4/2/99 8:21 AM The following is the official word from those in charge of the LDS genealogy web site.

No special password or clearance is needed to access the site, located at the URL address http://www.familysearch.org. As the site is tested, it will occasionally be offline. At other times access will be slow, church officials warned. A date for formal opening of the site has not been released. ------------------------------------------------ Cherri White _________________________________________________________ Do You Yahoo!?
