Just out of curiosity. I don’t have a real need for this.
So I’ve been trying to find info on my great-grandparents but after snooping around in ancestry.com and familysearch.com I realise there are no records for any of my parents, grandparents or great grandparents online. At least not on those sites.
And so I’m here wondering, what happened with those records? Anyone had any luck searching elsewhere? I’ve tried googling the names and nothing comes up either. Hooray for privacy I guess?
It’s fucked up, but you could try the Mormons. They do this thing, retroactive conversion, so someone becomes Mormon, and they go back and make all that person’s ancestors “Mormon”. So they have incredibly good ancestry records. Just a thought.
ancestry.com is mormon (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ancestry.com#1983)
wouldn’t be surprised if many other such resources also are. for the exact reasons as you explain. these people love “converting” the dead to their religion. they offer much less resistance than the living.
Huh…TIL!
