The reason Ancestry.com encourages non-LDS to use the site and submit info is specifically to get more info to do their temple work for the dead (Baptism, endowments, sealings).
Also, beware, Mormons are notoriously sloppy when submitting info. I found that out when I took a semester long genealogy class at BYU.
Sloppy is an understatement.
My Mom is entered three times and not one entry is correct. I contacted them, letting me know I had both the birth certificate and death certificate. I would be happy to send them a copy so they could correct the information and their response was “no, we stand by the entries”.
Once they entered Jesus Christ with “birth place unknown” and his one, two or three wives (depending on the entry)....anyone doing serious genealogy research should take anything they say with a grain of salt.
That's for sure. My decidedly alive although dead-dunked parents' ages were 27 and 20 years off, making them well into their 100's. They sure are holding up well :-) Must be that clean Mormon living. Or,err...wait...deadness!
