Regarding the Mormons-- it is true that they have a huge amount of information. No, they haven't copied every birth and death record in the world... they're working on it. They have a belief that salvation can be offered to dead ancestors, once you know who your dead ancestors are. So, it is sort of an imperative that a practicing Mormon work to find out as many ancestors as possible. And when you go to a public library to get genealogical information, they are likely to assume you are a Mormon, they see so many of them. Anyway, they are kind enough to allow the rest of us access to their records. It is possible to obtain information by going to Utah, or to their local parishes (they don't call them parishes, but I don't remember the word they do use). -Joe P.
