The Mormon or LDS information is excellent to look through, although like everything in Genealogy, you use it as a guide and get the actual source material. The LDS material covers information such as census, the Ancestral roles, census material, church records (all denominations), city and county records, the IGI, and they also give you Web page addresses. They are more generic web pages. If you find on a Web site or LDS or library a marriage date for instance, it is still best practice to get the actual Marriage certificate. The same for death certificate,etc. You might find out additional information and you have "proved" your line. Genealogy is about getting the facts and getting the Story. The best site to look at for the LDS Family History Search is: http://www.familysearch.org/ What year were your Dixon Relatives in Houston County? Gaila ----- Original Message ----- From: J. N.

I'll check out the things on the web that you suggested. I'm searching for my Dixon relatives. They lived in this area for a while. They also lived near Abbeville, Georgia for a while. Are the mormon records good to look through. Or is it just the mormon information in them?
