Hi Vivian, I cant remember who told me this but I too have heard that Mormons do document every person they can get hold of - its something to do with their beliefs or a kind of proselytizing. But before they do that they convert them (posthumously of course) to a Mormon. So many Americans who cant find their records and are thrilled to finally locate them in these Mormon records are not always happy to find that their ancestors are now converted Mormons. Is there any truth to this? Helga > Followers of the Mormon church, are wonderful people, > who eschew all stimulants including alcohol, drugs, > coffee, tea and chocolate.
