The sad part is if you are not familar with the family you can only go by what is written and also I have seen mistakes coming from the state clerk office.

So record keepping is a pain all around.

It really is too bad there is such sloppy typing and record keeping when someone's eternity is in jeopardy. How can you do the proper ordinances for the dead with all the error in the records?

It really helped having a mother who lived until she was 102 when she died in 2007. She could remember things that happened when she was a kid, the people she knew including my dad's grandfather who lived until his 90’s. She was interviewed by my home town paper and said she could remember going to church with her dad to pray for survivors of the Titanic. She had never mentioned that to us or if she had, it just went in one ear and out the other one without making a stop. I had trouble with a lady who is supposed to be an authority on my dad's side of the family. She had his mom dying after I was born but my mom said she was not alive when I was born, that she had died the year before. I miss having her around to double check things I find on the internet. She has a younger sister living and a sister-in-law living but the rest are gone just like my dad's family. We are the older generation, now.
