I agree with Jill on this.  Don't put on the list what may cause someone else to not follow the rules.  As they say: Locks are for honest people.  Dis-honest people will figure they own way into whatever trouble they want to get into.   I have over 30,000 related people in my database.  I did professional research for 30 years, and believe it or not, many of my clients turned out to have some connecting link to me. I have done or had done a lot of my direct line family temple work. Some medievel work was submitted through the proper missionary departments. When --IF-- I ever need to do temple work for someone not in my direct lines, I have plenty 1600-1700 related ancestors that may still need their work done. At least it will keep me busy checking to see!    Annette Womack --- On Wed, 5/13/09, Whitcomb <hwhitcomb@gmail.com> wrote: On Wed, May 13, 2009 at 11:01 AM, Jill N.

It isn't like our personal databases where we can tell the program to list everyone in the file whose work has not been done. Yes, the information is out there for anyone to see, but it isn't easy to come up with a list of names to submit who are not related--at least I wouldn't know how to do that! If there IS a way to do it, please DON'T put it out on this list to tell everyone how!!!! :-) > > Jill Crandell > >

I have had some very interesting experiences. My grandmother's sister-in-law - the only living relative of that generation - is a very sweet and gentle person. So I have started working on her lines to make a small book with her ancestors and their descendants. Much to my surprise I discovered that some of her lines go along other parts of my ancestry – making it very interesting to see if her lines are connected to my ancestors. Her sister-in-law is my paternal grandmother and it turns out that Agnes’ lines run along my maternal grandmothers one grandmother’s lines, they are witnesses to each other’s children – so maybe next time I dig around in that parish I find a connection. And more over my father’s sister-in-law has lines running very close to my mother’s lines. Granted – this is not USA – and distances are not the same but it is a very intriguing find. So who need medieval records? I dig where I stand :-) Str.
