Brick walls.....especially in US research.....might be :-) There just are NOT records, nor were they even kept, for many people...or sufficient records to uniquely identify them.

That doesn't sound to me like the research will be easier. **************Mortgage rates drop to record lows. $200,000 for $1,029/mo Fixed.

I have thought (and this is not doctrine that I have found) that if there is a first resurrection, then there must be a second, and a third, etc. So, if those who have had their temple work are completed can come in the first resurrection, then my ancestor Thomas Griffiths could tell those on earth what his wife's name was and who his parents were, even though I can't find them now. Then work could be done based on as much personal knowledge as all these end of the line guys could tell us. It seems that would be a millennium's worth of work right there. So we probably should get all the work done for all of the records on earth that do exist so we will be ready for the millennium, right? Shanna Jones
