Definitely the family records should be kept although they are not 'documented'. A website or possibly an addition to Rootsweb's site would be a good solution and an easy site to remember. Many of us have knowledge of our families that cannot be documented. Some records simply do not exist before a certain time period. Those who possess old family letters, ledgers, and clippings from unidentified newspapers know with a certainty that they apply to our family, however, it is not 'proof' for the dedicated genealogist. Many have labored for years to find their roots and have compiled remarkable booklets detailing the family for centuries only to find that because they could not obtain a birthcertificate for 1801 all the information regarding that person is suspect. I believe this remarkable set of family records could provide information available nowhere else. At least it will possibly flesh out some 'family lore' passed down for generations. It is somewhat like having a photograph of a particular relative, knowing his name, family, etc. but he does not officially exist because no scrap of legal documentation exists today. I think all of us have found records in the LDS that are not accurate but are being used over and over again as gospel. The submitters often do not have records but have relied upon information supplied by family members who may not have had correct knowledge in the first place. Census records are notoriously inaccurate because of false information given, many times simply because the person being interviewed did not remember a specific year. These records may clear up discrepancies. Sometimes the final piece in the puzzle comes from unusual sources. Barb
