I am not Mormon, but have had lots of experience with records at Salt Lake. It is true that many of the records sources, especially those on line are submitted by individuals. These are only clues to help you develop a direction for your search. But if you are interested in original records they are there on microfilm for anyone to search. Land Records, probates, wills, births, deaths and marriages as well as many others are there to study. The outcome is in the hands of the researcher. The cautions are the same as for any data submitted by a researcher, look at the orginial records. And that is where you can find many of the original records. Millie
