This doesn't remove the bad information, even though it's nice to know that with conflicting information there, some folks might just try to prove what is accurate and what is not.

They once had my ancestor married to the wrong Sarah Murray in Tippah County MS. I don't know how, but it has been corrected. However, I have emailed them about mistakes and they do not respond.

They have two sets of children for the very same couple in my line, and I can do nothing to have this information corrected. They obviously didn't have both sets of children. They only had one complete set of children...the correct ones.

The LDS people will most likely make a database copy on either film or disk and store it in a massive under ground storage area where they maintain copies of their vast collection of genealogical data. Another way of insuring that the genealogical data that you have collected is saved, is to assemble copies in a book or booklet format and donate a copy to the main local libraries where your ancestors have lived. Also pass a copy on to the LDS Family History Library in Salt Lake City, UT and they will most likely microfilm the information and add it to their vast microfilm collection. A copy of a book that I wrote about 10 years ago, which contained a lot of KING genealogical data, was microfilmed by the LDS Family History Library. Copies of the book on microfilm titled From Wagons To Spaceships, can be ordered for viewing by any interested researcher at their nearest LDS Family History Center. There is a small charge for ordering the film and the film can be viewed free using their projection equipment at your nearby Family History Center. (LDS Family History Centers are located in most major population centers in the USA and overseas; see their Internet listing for more information.) I am not a member of the LDS Church, but I have made extensive use of their genealogical resources. It is no doubt the largest single source of genealogical data in the world. Their genealogical data collection is related to one of their religious beliefs. Most members in good standing have data on the last five generations of their ancestors. I no longer have time for answering research requests. However, if you have very close connection to my KING-CLOUD family lines I will try to find time to answer your email. Happy researching.
