Not just their site, their paper records as well. When I was Mormon, I took a class in genealogy at BYU and was horrified at how sloppy their records were.

It was like the people putting the information in didn’t care as long as the ‘temple work’ was done.

I think they are more about getting someone whatever they do to add more names to their data base. It is very aggravating when I know these ancestors were Baptists from the early 1800’s to today. There is one site which has the minutes of a certain Baptist church in SC from about 1800-mid to late 1800’s which covers one family. It was very interesting to see how and why certain members were kicked out of church. This included some of my ancestors, too.
