hi paul,well thats smashing,well done,how ya feeling,been told ya been poorly sick xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx

Glad to hear that your tree is worth storing, I trust its all verified and sourced correctly, unlike SOME that has been submitted? Mine??.....hmm! still working on it........ Bob

lol Bob, Yes they told me their 'experts' had looked at my tree. So I presume that means its been verified....? Some tree's on the LDS couldnt be more wrong! I always triple check anything i get from there.

knowing paul hes a perfectionist,so they will have done well out of his tree.hes helped me with mine,and his knowledge is brill,he took one side of my family back 2 generations.xxxxxxxx

I wouldnt call myself a perfectionist, more maticulist... (Is that spelt wright?) On FTM, i always make sure i fill in all the gaps for every single person. lol

I am sure that you have, Paul, but mine? keep finding little doubtful bits........and I am so sure that at the time, the facts were THE facts......... Bob

I have no idea if it is the same thing but I found some of my ancestors listed in a Mormon sealing of the dead. Unfortunately there is another family of the same name from the same Somerset village listed in a mormon history of Wales (they were coalminers) and they seem to have borrowed some of mine as well. I thought it was a bit creepy. I know they are buried in Somerset and it is only the records in Salt lake city.

When will people learn..... Being Baptised by the Church of LDS, doesn't force the dead into joining the Mormon faith, nor does it say that their religions is the wrong one. 'Baptised' is the wrong word in my opinion. It's just a way of recognising the dead, and worshipping them. Just like many other religions do..This is just the LDS's version of the same thing. They recognise them due to the fact that without them, you wouldn't be here. It DOES NOT force them into becoming Mormon....

Paul, Very well done and congratulations! Since no-one else has managed to say 'I got that e-mail too' I would suggest to the sceptics maybe it HAS actually been chosen! Even so, what a tremendous thought that in generations to come genealogists will have Mr Dumpling as their source of information. Good on yer!!
