Dearest Joann - I wanted to let you know that I have the highest respect for the Mormon religion and for the people who live by it. It takes a great deal of commitment and self-discipline to dedicate oneself to the Mormon religion. These are two very valuable qualities which I admire. I often go to the LDS library for research. I am very happy that the Mormons have created such a wonderful resource and are so willing to share it. I have learned so much from the volunteers there who are always helpful and very patient. As soon as I get just a few more things entered to my data base I will be submitting my tree to the LDS data base. I appreciate that, even though I am not a Mormon, that my family information will be held and protected in their data base until such time as my great, great, great, great granddaughter is ready to access it. I thank you for being the lovely caring, sharing person that you are. Sherrie in San Diego Joanne wrote: I appreciate the fact that I am accepted with you all knowing I am a Mormon. There are alot of wrong ideas and misconceptions out there about Mormons and it is nice to know that many of you are using the genealogy libraries and not offended at me, because I am LDS. I consider all of you my good friends. Because of my children's medical problems, I have little contact with the outside world and you all have opened up a new and wonderful world to me.
