I agree that all of us have work to do. I do know that many members with long generations in the Church have to learn to be more creative in finding information to submit. My husband's family is an example of this situation. I do find names but they are usually from the siblings of the direct ancestors. This is okay as long as the rights of privacy are respected. I have a friend who has the same challenge. She is finally catching the vision that she can look to the relatives connected to her through the siblings of her ancestors. This is exciting for her but also for me. It took us a while to encourage her to look at the other relatives -- even though she really wanted to have a family file of her own.

I have over the years encountered a number of "roadblockers" in my family files. I found that the "slightly" extended family often were the answer to solving the road blocks - often the parents in the family went to live with some of their married children late in life and keeping track of siblings have helped me find many "lost" ancestors. Accuracy in record keeping is one of my main issues - write down the source and ALL the information like all witnesses, their occupations and place of living and often the extended searches were very brief. But I DID have seeming loop in loop searches. Most have been solved by time and effort.
