Yet, the LDS member who guided my group of boy scouts in their genealogy merit badge stated that he liked finding a messy family in his line and the messier the better. That gives me hope. My LDS neighbor loved scrapbooking tidbits of the lives of her family, not just how they passed DNA. That also gives me hope. Surely holy people can remain holy despite these things in the world that are outside their control. What an interesting time we are living in. Why not document it?

The owners are LDS, but the great majority of their users are not LDS, and even Utah now allows (begrudgingly) same sex marriages. Their LDS membership does not seem to be the controlling factor. Messages I have seen from them seem very sincere that this is something they want to fix. Not only do they have to change their data model, but they also have to make significant in a lot of their tools, reports, etc. john.
