LDS is dangerous. They list anything people put on there without checking for correctness (that would be pretty well impossible, wouldn't it?) so it is a place to start but everything has to be checked out carefully. You can find most anything on LDS. They do have excellent resources for checking, however, if you just know to go to that. The local Mormon library attendants are so very helpful. Dorothy C.

We must all remember that LDS merely posts the information that individuals send them. So does Ancestry and Genealogy. It would be an almost impossible task for them to verify it. I have shared my information with others researching the same family. I have never posted my information with any of these services, but I have found data that I provided to someone else posted. Sometimes, that data is later found to be in error. I have found the data posted by others to be a tool to give some general information (dates, places, names). You should always take this info with "a grain of salt." Try to verify it for yourself and use it as a springboard for finding new clues. Larry -----Original Message----- From: Dorothy C.
