Re: [LDS] question on microfilm

[Tim Israel]

As a non-member looking for Scottish ancestors I have come across some
relatives who are shown more than once on the IGI. For instance,   I found
one mentioned 3 times - as a patron submission - as an entry on the original
Scottish Birth records (which were filmed/microfiched by the LDS  with
permission of the Scottish Record Office) and as a family sealing.  In such
a situation I get my information from the original Scottish records although
I wondered if I would be entitled to apply for the other information.
My family member was born in 1825, had the same maiden-name as myself and
was the granddaughter of my  5xgrandfather.
Whether she herself was Mormon are one of her descendents presented her for
inclusion in their mormon family I do not know but seeing that I have not
yet discovered a  <male Manwell> in a sealing I think it had to do with the
family she married into.

best regards
