Thank you to the Mormons
I would personally like to thank all the LDS people who have collated so much information and made it available to people like me to research their family trees. I know the reasons for their research but it's still extremely helpful.
I have ordered films and gone to the the FHC to look at them and have been treated very well by people in charge and the patrons there and have been given loads of help and tips without any pressure regarding their religion. One poor man was upset when researching his own family tree contacted someone on a forum who refused to give him the info because he'd said he was a Mormon. What a shame

Maybe the person he had contacted didn't want him to retrospectively baptise his relatives into the Mormon faith, Julie.

I think the resource is fantastic and I'm fortunate enough to be able to visit the Family History Centre in London, which was brilliant as they have so much information on microfilm. So I was rather pleased in a way to find that my gt x 4 grandfather Robert Chapple Shill converted to Mormonism and emigrated to America. Many of his children followed suit, but my gt x 3 grandmother remained C of E here.

I owe the LDS a huge debt of gratitude and wouldn't have got anywhere without them.
Like Asa, I see posthumous baptism as a piece of harmless nonsense and it is certainly no dafter than baptising a baby into a faith of its parents choosing - that baby has no more choice about baptism than does a dead person! OC
