My Great-grandmother, Mary Ann Linton Morgan, spent most of her adultlife completely involved in genealogy. Back in the early to mid 1900sshe used the limited resources she had available in Salt Lake City, Utahcombined with the U.S. Mail, to research thousands of individuals.After inheriting her huge files, I spent another ten years or sodigitizing and entering all of the information into computer files.Grandmother Morgan had three children before her husband died at arelatively early age. She lived as a widow for 57 years. She died when Iwas about six years old. And I should probably mention that her husbandwas a General Authority in The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-daySaints (to those of you who are not members of the Church, he was one ofthe leaders of the Church).

Now, fast forward to 2010. I amcertain that Grandmother Morgan is not just turning over in her grave,she is likely spinning fast enough to melt metal. I am certain that shewould be totally appalled at the total lack of responsibility evidencedby the submissions to New FamilySearch masquerading as genealogicaldata coming out regularly in the files on New FamilySearch.Just recently someone on New FamilySearch added another child to theJohn Morgan/Mary Ann Linton Morgan family. They added a child named MaryAnn Morgan who was born in 1888 in Acklington, Northumberland,England. Did I mention that Mary Ann Morgan lived in Utah and Arizonaand never traveled to England? Did I further mention that John and MaryAnn got married in 1888 in Logan, Utah? Did I also fail to mention thatMary Ann only had three children, all boys?
