I was warned on my first trip to Family History Center not to take everything recorded as gospel. A lot of their data comes from actual recorded records, but a lot also comes from data submitted by other people just like us. I was told that some people submitted family data that they were not really sure of just to fill in family names. I was advised to verify information that was submitted by individuals for myself. This is a good example of just how different actual known facts and some of the submitted data can vary. Sharon Sukiennik >> One more example of records in LDS. I found my maternal great grand parents in Oakland, Ca on fiche in 1970s. Disappointed the record of Grandmothers death date incorrectly entered.(by her son) Have spent the interim years trying to get it corrected. Have proof he was wrong. (His son finally corrected last year) In SLC at the church, using their computers, my family was not there. I. was told, by their people if you have ever seen them they are here. Not so. A professional genealogists I met there,told me that in transference of records from Microfiche to computer more than one million names lost. Not common knowledge. True????? Jeany
