It's unfortunate that the LDS church does not require some proof for the data submitted before they do the proxy baptisms, sealings, etc >>>actually the submitter IS supposed to have documentation of whatever data is submitted, but as you know sometimes folks have a tendency to fudge their facts a bit. It has even been discovered that so called "professional" genealogists have manufactured entire bogus lineages for a fee and the unsuspecting folks who paid them had no idea until years later. Again, please remember that the data is not always submitted by an LDS researcher and some researchers are just too sloppy for belief. The church does have criteria that must be met for submissions but they are assuming that the submitters have met the burden of proof prior to their submissions.<<< I found my great-grandparents names in a Pedigree Resource File the other day submitted by someone I have never heard of. I am hoping to discover another distant cousin if she replies to my note sent out last week. Sometimes I wonder about all the sharing we do myself, but I am convinced it is the only way we learn and also the only way to correct the many errors that are out there. Dianna
