I have heard some of the Churches are upset over the mass baptisms of deceased people by the Morman Church and are encouraged not to send them information on our relatives.

Emily, I don't think you need concern yourself about anybody baptising your deceased relatives. Shame on any church that encourages people to "boycott" the LDS library. That is essentially what you say is happening. After all the LDS has done for genealogy, how can any family researcher not rise up and speak his or her mind about such a proposal?
