IMHO the Mormon genealogy records are a treasure for non-Mormons, regardless of the LDS motivation.
But one has to question the accuracy - since Mormonism only began in the 18th century. Someone’s obsession has become a hobby for others.
Well, that works both ways. The info non-Mormons uncover is used by Mormons to proxy baptize dead people -- and hence dishonor the dead.
For those who don't think that is dishonorable, I don't think Mormons would appreciate fundamentalist Mormons baptizing mainstream Mormons to become fundies in the world to come...
...Or Satanists having elaborate candlelight hooded sessions to dedicate by name Mormon spirits as newly joined fellow Satanists...
...Or Muslims dunking Mormons so that they become spirit-world jihadists...
...even they might fantasize about the alleged "fringe benefits" of all those extra virgins...
I just looked did seven searches, not one had correct information on my family.
Oh, well. birth dates, places of death. etc.. wrong

The pomeous jerks tell me that they have “the truth” and thats that...
BTW if your ancestor is in the Mormons IGI its because they have been dead dunked into Mormonism...
Thats why Jesus is in there and married to mary magdalaine...
