Hi All, I am LDS, I have Worked there, and Know the System.. I AM NO PRO.. but this is something I DO KNOW about... LDS has SO many records.. The woman had a Question regarding FILM availablitiy on IGI and other LDS refferences.. The REASON there are Films is that People have been able to Get some ORIGINAL Records onto FILM..... MANYYYY of the records provided through the FHC, are from People like you and I who Go to the FHC and INPUT the Information to the System.... THOSE records are FULL of Errors because many people just THINK they know what is right,do not use documentation, only the information they put together... Use the INFORMATION as a SOURCE to lead you to REAL information and documentation... Never Assume any CD with thousands of people on them, or Web pages Full of Giant Families.. Are ACCURATE. they may be, some of us go to great detail and expense to Verify the information we post, but even I get Corrections on Families I have on the web... No One is Perfect, as well as the information they submit... If someone has Something that REALLY looks like it's Valid.. Simply Write to the source and Question what they did to get documantation.. Internet is nice, but Written letters Still have alot more hlep.. LDS records ALL have the same thing.. LOOK at the Source, see how many people have submitted the SAME information.. it could all have come from ONE wrong source.. you can Write to LDS Submitters also.. And the NEW format on LDS site is not received very well, so expect further Change.. If and When you go to a FHC.. Write out a Specific Plan of research.. Who you need info on and what information you need from it.. Go there with a Limited Goal.. Because they are often Staffed with volunteers, and sometimes they DO NOT know too much about the place they are doing thier CALLING for at church.. the More information you have... the easier it is for you to help yourself, when you run into a volunteer who isn't helpful... ALSO.... PLEASE look at the FICHE in the FHC's.. You can find ALOT of information in those that will lead you to FILM ROLLS that have ACTUALL REAL RECORDS.. and not just Person submitted..
