Personally I have lost all confidence in the accuracy of the data that is on the LDS site. They will not post who submitted the information. Instead they include the statement "Messages: Record submitted after 1991 by a member of the LDS Church. No additional information is available. Ancestral File may list the same family and the submitter." and "Source Information: No source information is available." Without a contact name or source how can one verify the information? ____________________________________________________________ Digital Photography - Click Now. http://thirdpartyoffers.juno.com/TGL2141/fc/BLSrjpTDvmPqMqsGwSnOdnO7lCczVluUZXchRXb13LMTEGC0K5avYodapgc/

I, too, have seen bad information there. All you should do with it is use it as a guide to verify that info from more reliable sources. Have you looked at their record search-pilot? They have digitized images from many sources, including Cook county Illinois marriages that the Cook County Clerk's website doesn't even have. I had given up hope of ever finding my grandmother's marriage record until I found this site. It's absolutely wonderful and I keep checking back to see what else has been added Deb ----- Original Message ----- From: "Martha Blocker" <mdbb1@juno.com> To: <iowa-L@rootsweb.com> Sent: Sunday, March 08, 2009 10:40 AM Subject: Re: [IOWA] LDS > Personally I have lost all confidence in the accuracy of the data that is > on the LDS site.
