Let’s face it, Mormons are good at genealogy.

For damn sure....my (now gone) Mom got this genealogy thing going on during her later years - always wanted to do a Utah research trip,

They do genealogy for all of the wrong reasons - to baptize your ancestors, my ancestors, even the ancestors of Jewish folks, into the LDS.

Actually, they are very sloppy. When I was at BYU, I took a course on genealogy. I had several family records, copies of birth and death certs, etc. When I used LDS records to research my geneology for class (and for temple submission), I was appalled that the basic errors, names, dates, places, they even had my grandfather mixed up with another family of the same name who was no relation at all.

The goal of Mormon genealogy is to get names of the dead for their temple ceremonies, and most LDS don’t really care how accurate it is.

Actually they are not.
My mother’s bDay is incorrect as well as her death date, no way to correct it.
That’s just a start.
Oh, yea and the fact that Jesus had three wives.
