I have certainly had wide experience with using SAR, DAR and LDS sources, and they all have their strengths and shortcomings. One always needs to treat information without documentation with skepticism. The problem with SAR and DAR sources is that they are limited to those families who qualify as supporters of the Revolution, and that their early sources were often entirely bogus. (I found my ancestor James McMullan on the DAR rolls even though I could document from LDS sources that he was busy tending his farm in York County when he was supposed to be at sea). As someone has already pointed out there is a great difference in reliability in LDS sources depending upon whether they were submissions from a person or from a source. I once knew how to tell the difference but I seem to have forgotten how. About a year ago while in the DAR library in Washington DC, I came across some information in one of their books that I knew to be incorrect. When I pointed it out to the librarian she instructed me to make a pencil correction in the blank space on the page, even though I had no documentation with me. (I left it alone).

Unless you can find something newer, I think that following the trail shows that Ancestry.com is indeed owned by the LDS church: http://www.infobaseventures.com/our_companies.html Infobases Inc. Founded in 1990 by Paul Allen and Dan Taggart. Published religious and educational software on CD-ROM. An Inc. 500 company in 1996, growing from $0 to $4 million in revenue in its first five years. Acquired Bookcraft, Inc. in 1997. Acquired by Deseret Management Corp in 1999. Infobases, Inc. invested in Ancestry, a 13-year old print publishing company, in May 1996 and became its managing shareholder. Later, Infobases acquired 100% of Ancestry from its original founder, John Sittner. By July 1997, Paul Allen and Dan Taggart were running Ancestry as a company independent from Infobases and began building the world's largest online genealogy database and subscription service. Ancestry.com changed its name to MyFamily.com in November 1999. MyFamily.com was launched in December 1998 and quickly became one of the fastest growing community web sites in history, gaining 1 million registered users in its first 140 days. Led by CEO Curt Allen, the company raised more than $90 million in venture capital from investors such as Intel, CMGI, AOL, Kodak, Compaq, Sorenson, Esnet, Vspring and Tango Partners. Today, MyFamily.com owns Ancestry.com, Rootsweb, Genealogy.com and is the leading genealogy company in the world. According to the New York Times (Oct 2002), sales for 2002 were projected at $62 million. 2003 sales were $99 million. CEO: Tom Stockham AND - if you check out Deseret Management Corp, you'll find the following: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Deseret_Management_Corporation The Deseret Management Corporation is a for-profit management company of assets for The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints.

Question: Does anyone know if Ancestry.com and it's products, such as One World Tree, are affiliated with the LDS church? All of the principals graduated from BYU. Ann
I'm not a member of the LDS, so I'm speaking as an observer. My understanding from LDS friends is that the organization now has people vetting new submissions to the ancestral files and the IGI. Older submissions weren't vetted and often were not accurate. Generally I use LDS postings as guidelines on places to look. But the same is true of ancestry.com's OneWorldTree. A lot of the posted information is undocumented, and some of it is wrong, too. If you can't go to the places where your ancestors lived, the LDS Family History Centers at least provide access to a lot of historical records on microfilm. Richard Aurand Sherer

Som e of the submitted information is truly worthless, even amusing. However, there are some gems online also. Various church records have been transcribed and put in the IGI databanks also. I have found no listing of these, but I have, through time, found some of them. The clue appears to be a batch number beginning with a c for christening or m for marriage. After the batch number there is a date range. For example: Salem Evangelical Lutheran Church, Lebanon, Lebanon, Pennsylvania batch # C504221 1763 - 1876 If you go to the IGI search screen, enter that batch number and put in North America for the region You can search the Salem baptism records. If you do that, and simply push search, if gives you the whole thing starting from A. Tony
Family Tree Maker, which is very good software, makes me a little afraid of it now as it's owned by Myfamily. What bother me was the rep. of the LDS of taking data and incorporated in their database without the owners permission. Jon Miller
Marcia, The degree of documentation required for membership in the DAR has improved significantly over the years. Unfortunately, there was a time when this was not the case. One of my distant cousins, now deceased, obtained DAR membership in the 1920s using Statthalter as a surname. It was not a real name. Instead it was a German word meaning place-holder, or, in more conventional terms, unknown. Another, closer-to-home case is my wife, who is a third-generation DAR member. She had to start all over because she was not allowed to piggy-back on the applications of her mother and her grandmother. In the old days, the piggy-back method was used all the time. The LDS records are a mixed bag. Those that are submitted by members of the LDS are often (if not usually) undocumented. However, the LDS has one of the world's largest collections of the images of old church records, including births, baptisms, marriages, deaths, etc. If one knows how to tell the difference between the wheat and the chaff, a research trip to the LDS library and archives in Salt Lake can prove invaluable.

Ancestry.com is not owned by the LDS church. There are some LDS members that work there and run the site. The LDS genealogy archives in Salt Lake City do contain many records submitted by members as well as non-members of the LDS church. Many errors are found there because of lack of knowledge in research and piggy-backing of the records. Unfortunately those records were seldom documented as they were submitted as their own family lines. The church is in the process of a huge clean-up of the records which is costing an incredible amount of money and man hours and will be ready soon to begin to accept documented lines to be submitted by anyone who wishes to do so.

Yes there is a connection according to "The Frances Bashore Francis Collection" compiled and printed by Tulpehocken Settlement Historical Society. They both descendant from the line of Johan Jacob Bashore, but each through a different wife. Hope this helps.Sandy

Actually, the German Reformed Church is now the United Church of Christ. The United Christian Church is a very small evangelical denomination (see http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/United_Christian_Church). In Campbelltown, PA, the United Christian Cemetery is adjacent to the United Church of Christ Cemetery, to add to the possibility for confusion. John Engle On Jul 16, 2006, at 3:45 PM, Frederick S.

No, they are not the same. The German Reformed Church is now the United Christian Church (UCC). The German Baptist Brethren morphed into the Church of the Brethren, an Anabaptist group. Fred Frantz
Marcia, The German Reformed and the German Baptists were two different sects. Some of the many Beshores who lived in the area at the time belonged to one sect, and some to the other.
