You don't seem to understand. What they are doing is copying books for use FREE on the internet. I hope you don't expect BYU to verify the content of published books?? I can only compliment and praise the efforts of the LDS Church they are helping us all to find our roots. Their publishing the 1880 census was a monstrous feat, they are not only to be applauded for this but for providing FREE local libraries for all to use along with their other endless contributions. Sorry you were disappointed.
