Familysearch.org is a wealth of information but it also lacks a great deal of sources. I
am LDS and I work as a consultant for my ward, and my biggest grip is the lack of sources.
So it is good for clues and a look at a line, but it stops there. Most LDS are only
doing genealogy for Temple Work. I have seen so many people changing this or that about a
person because they see the work done but want to do it themselves, The new program the
church has just put out will start to eliminate that type of work, but it will take years
to fix it all. Most of my work came from my Grandmother who went back to Washington DC a
great deal between 1930 and 1980 but she didnt write good citations for her work, but in
knowing her passion for accuracy, I have taken alot of her work in I think good accuracy.
But now I am trying to go over it all and document it all. Will keep your email and
update you as I get it. By the way, how did you come across the anniv card and pictures
of Wm.!
Snyder and Marie Antionette Hodgin?? Sincerely emmy mayne
